Beschreibung des Videoclips:

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!
