They were robust, not tall. They had short legs because their thighbone-to-shinbone ratios were unlike ours. They had short torsos because the lower spinal segments were shorter than ours (although they had the same number of bones as we do). A consequence of the short torso is that their odd, bell-shaped rib cages hung low over their hip bones. Thus, they probably weren't very flexible. Against that, they were better armored against the kind of "gut wounds" that were inevitably fatal in pre-tech times.
Own Your Own Jurassic Park 09/26/2003
The BBC News reports that, beginning in 2005, you may be able to plant your own Wollemi Pine at home. Discovered alive in an isolated Australian grove in 1994, Wollemi pines were thought to have gone extinct after the Jurassic era. According to a botanist involved in the discovery, it was “the equivalent of finding a small dinosaur still alive on earth.” The trees grow slowly in low light, in hot or cold climates, and would make perfect indoor plants.
Plant it next to your Dawn Redwood and Ginkgo trees, similar living fossils. Why no evolution in 100 million years? Who needs the millions of years? Imagine the fossil ones living just a few thousand years ago, and it all begins to make more sense.
Impress your friends with a living fossil garden. What an interesting conversation starter that could be.
