A compilation of all of the video in the "Do I live alone or in groups" topic found in the Rock Formation stations within the Be the Dinosaur exhibit. In the stations, the video is played in 20-40 second segments under user control.

Be the Dinosaur is focused on exploring some of the greatest mysteries of paleontology - dinosaur behavior - in a completely interactive way.

How might they have lived? What was a day in the life of a dinosaur like? What can fossil evidence tell us about the way extinct animals lived their lives?

Be the Dinosaur allows museum visitors to do what they have always wanted to do - to "become" dinosaurs. Taking control of a digital animal in a detailed simulated ecosystem replete with wind currents that circulate odors, plant life with different nutritional values, artificially intelligent dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles and birds, etc..

Visitors need to learn what a dinosaur would have known by instinct - knowledge about the environment, where to find food, what foods are better than others, how to defend or hunt, etc. in order to survive the virtual cretaceous.

Take control of your virtual dinosaur and decide for yourself: were tyrannosaurs hunters, scavengers or both? Did they hunt in packs or as solitary creatures? How would terrain impact an animal's lifestyle? Try the behaviors for yourself and decide!

  • Be the Dinosaur is a completely different animal. It was designed specifically for museums with the help of some of the most well respected paleontologists and paleobotanists in the world. It is not related to any other software or mod.

  • DINO INSTINCT

  • No, this simulation was built from the ground up with the help of world-renowned paleontologists and paleobotanists to be the largest and most complex recreation of an extinct ecosystem ever created. You take the role of a dinosaur and you need to know what dinosaurs knew in order to stay alive. You need to learn about their environment, strategies for hunting and/or defense, what food sources are better than others, etc. etc. etc..

  • "Be the Dinosaur" is a museum exhibit, the first of its kind, with an accurate multiplayer simulation of an extinct ecosystem at its core. The only place in the world that it can be experienced is at a museum hosting the exhibit or displaying simulation pods.

    "Be the Dinosaur" is currently on display at the Louisville Science Center in Louisville, KY.
