The creature, dubbed the “travelling dinosaur". is really a replica of the original Upper Cretaceous dino- saur fossil found in the Alberta Badlands in the l920's. The original fossil. the most complete of three in the world. is displayed permanently at the Royal Ontario Museum tROMl in Toronto. Parasaurolophus had an average overall length of about 25 feet and in life probably weighed between two and three tons. about the weight of a small ele- phant. It lived in western North America about 75- million years ago during the Cretaceous Period, which lasted from about 135- to 65-million years ago. This was the last period of the Mesozoic Era. often referred to as the Age of Reptiles. beginning about 725-milhon years ago, The most%riouk feature of the creature IS its head City under pressure to close zoo Blood donor clinic Chronicle staff writer Vandalism ended the friendship between he and the one and one-half year old brush wolf two weeks ago Someone cut the wire cage and the animal escaped During attempts to recap- ture the wolf, It was shot with a tranquilizer A mm- hlnatlon of the drug. fear and exhaustion lulled the an- Imal before It could. he re- turned to the mo This latest animal death has Arnold Nogy, his family and many other Waterloo residents upset With the City over the operation of the park mo The controversy IS an on going one Several months ago a city worker aecuden- tally left the door to the deer pen open and two of the am- mals escaped One was cap- tured but the other was shot Letters and phone calls flooded the City and area media sources after that in- on Thursday night. last week.

As well as schools, nursing homes and hospitals the group did one show at the University of Waterloo Up With People, a Tuscon-based variety group, performed a numbet of concerts in the Waterloo area crest. The function of the crest is not yet known. Se- veral theories include: the lengthening of the nasal passages to increase the animal's sense of smell; a resonator for the voice of the male species during mating season: a means of recognition of members of its own species and the more probable, a cooling de- vice for the brain. , The replica. mounted on wood, was too big to bring into the building by customary means. The museum hired a crane at a cost of 8400 to hoist it through the upper-storey window. But the creature that arrived at the university last week is a fibreglass replica that people will be able to see in the museum until Feb. 26, 1960. The replica was missing its hind legs when students and faculty carried it through the halls to the mu- seum They were later attached before the creature was hung on the wall David Fisk, of the ROM, was relieved to say the least when his "pet" was safely through the window cident too Kathy Glenn of Waterloo says the City "refuses to North America 75-million years ago is on display at the university's earth sciences museum until late February.

Transporting the dinosaur has provided some in- teresting moments for Fisk and Robert Kirkmann. also of the ROM, Kirkmann said their truck was once pulled over at a highway weigh station and an official asked the two what they were carrying. Neither want- ed to tell him it was a dinosaur. When they did, he didn't really believe them until they opened up the back of the truck. "Dinosaurs are very popular Te Kids seem to relate to them Fl' They're sort of fairy tale animals to them," Peter Russell, curator of the earth sciences museum said. Russell said the dinosaur will remain at the mu- seum until late February for public viewing between 9 am and 5 pm.
