(...) Uhhhh.... I used to live in Florida, and then in Louisiana (both are in the southern USA, and both have alligators as a natural species- Louisiana also has crocodiles). Trust me on this one, alligators and crocodiles *do* come in green. eric (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

From the fossil records, really we cannot know what colors these dinosaurs were in when they were alive. The artists usually picture dinosaurs in gray or other dull colors, because today somehow large animals are never colorful (e.g., elephant, (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.adventurers)

I had a lovely dream last night that I was the first to discover a new dino set in a under $10 page of a catalog. It was a car driving through a cave with Barron Von Barron inside.

I have a good but strange explination for the double-color dinos. The gray-legged stegosaurus is really a young elaphant in a coustume.
