Robot dinosaurs go on show in LA Zoo

It won’t exactly be “Jurassic Park”, the movie in which scientists used DNA to bring dinosaurs back from extinction. But then the robotic dinosaurs at the Los Angeles Zoo won’t try to eat the visitors either.

“The idea is to show people what dinosaurs looked like, how they might have moved and to use that to connect them with living animals – things like the rhinoceros, the cassowary and reptiles we have in our collection - living animals whose ancestors are very ancient,” said zoo Director John Lewis.
