Hungry Hungry Dinosaurs

Livestream with Royal Botanical Gardens (Ontario) Tuesday, December 5, 9:15 AM Pacific time (12:15 PM for our friends on Eastern time)

Join us for this live online extravaganza! With only weeks left before Sue the T-Rex leaves the Royal BC Museum, we’re getting up close and personal with Sue to find out more about dinosaur habitats and diets in the Late Cretaceous with our friends at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario.

When dinosaurs like Sue were roaming the earth, plants like bryophytes (ferns and mosses), gymnosperms (Ginkgo and conifers such as Redwoods) and angiosperms (flowering plants) were part of this warmer, humid environment. During the Cretaceous period, plants started to diversify, providing more variety of food for herbivorous dinosaurs and other animals.

We’ll look at some plants that were around with the dinosaurs and are still here. Royal Botanical Gardens will bring the plants, we’ll bring the dinosaurs and a paleontologist!

What to bring: Your curiosity and a conifer twig (30-40 cm) or two for a quick identification activity.

All ages welcome with a focus for grades 4 to 6.
