This video is an editing together of all the video content for the "What do I eat? - carnivore" section of the Be the Dinosaur traveling museum exhibit. In the exhibit, the video is presented in discrete 20-40 second segments for the environment of a museum floor.

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!

  • The tour is booking up right now, so if you would like to see "Be the Dinosaur" come to your area, call or e-mail your local museum and tell them that you'd like to see it. That's the best way to ensure it gets to your museum.

  • Yes, Edmontosaurus is in the simulation. It had not been added at the time this video was made. We'll post some additional footage featuring them soon. Thanks!

    Is the exhibit coming to Australia, and can you play as a Pterodactyl?
