Four Dinosaurs and a Giant Sloth

Today we visited the Victoria an Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum which is across the street. I especially enjoyed a visit to the dinosaur section.

Another one.

One more dinosaur. Of course I have their names, but it’s too much trouble to add them.
If you want to identify dinosaurs, ask a 4-year-old.

My Previous Encounter with a Giant Sloth

Our visit to the cave of the Giant Sloth in Patagonia in 2017

The Milodon, or Giant Sloth, whose bones are found throughout Patagonia, was hunted by early people, who probably contributed to the extinction of this one-ton beast. The bones of this animal were found in the cave where the statue now stands. For a while, it was hoped that this beast was not yet extinct.

Ha! Of course you are exactly right about asking a four-year-old.
