AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'There was something very different about this Triceratops! Wilbur would spend hours gazing up at the Pterosaurs as they glided about the sky on the warm thermal winds. 'I want to fly too ... just like they do' he declared to his friends. (Well, that's going to be a problem if you weigh about the same as a small School Bus!) He tried to fly, jumping out of tree ferns, then making himself some pretend wings! Nothing worked ... he was an earthbound dinosaur. However, Wilbur finally achieves a 'lift-off', but not in the way he expects ...' (Source: Kiwi Media)
