If you could own your own animatronic dinosaur, which would you have?
Have you seen animatronic dinosaurs in an exhibition?

We've had them at our zoo and I loved them!!

We've had animatronic dinosaurs at the Milwaukee County Zoo before.

...I think it's asinine. The Australian exhibit lies empty. We could get some kangaroos and emus, I'm sure, for little more than the price of postage, and instead we waste money on animatronic dinosaurs and dragons.

^We have a new (roughly 2 years old now) animatronic dinosaur display at the StL Zoo, but no empty exhibits. And it's a premium thing; people just there to see the live animals won't be reminded that the dinos are there other than just passing by the gate to it.

I'd want a stegosaurus.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Don't think we have that sort of thing at the Houston Zoo.

Thought about saying Triceratops, but I might have to be honest and basic and say T-Rex might be coolest to have. Maybe throw a little Mario hat on top of it for fun.
