One of my major goals is to develop a web of the small Wyoming museums and create a major museum system. There are about eight of these museums, and they are all scattered.
From Robert T. Bakker
One researcher just determined that African and Indian elephants make each other sick. When a new animal or plant is introduced to a habitat bad things happen. The biggest danger to native wildlife is foreign wildlife.
Birds evolved from a small raptor like theropod.
I also got a chance to go to the American Museum in New York, which helped my interest.
The impact of the magazine was very strong. As I said, it portrayed dinosaurs as part of the geological history, part of the story of life on earth. It struck that paleontology was the career for me.
As an undergraduate I held many small jobs as an illustrator.
Also, while I was at Yale, I had a job teaching kids at the museum.
At Harvard I was in charge of the comparative anatomy labs.
In 1941 Richard Owen said that the dinosaurs were almost hot blooded.
To me it seems that the warm blooded dinosaurs replaced advanced mammal ancestors that were warm blooded, also.
