Provider of life-size animatronic dinosaurs Billings Productions has provided a Megalosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops for the atrium of Columbus Metropolitan Main Library, Columbus, US as part of a special autumn programme of activities.
While the three dinosaurs provided for the library are static, Bilings Productions has also provided 17 moving animatronic dinosaurs for Dinosaur Island at Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, including a Brachiosaurus, Megalosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex.
“Our dinosaurs not only increase attendance and excitement for zoos and museums, but they’re a fantastic way to teach conservation,” said Billings Productions’ Ande Davidson.
“Children look at our dinosaurs to see the animals that we’ve lost in the past and connect that to the endangered animals that we must save now for the future.”
Also known as the Dinosaur Company, Texas-based Billings Productions designs and develops animatronic exhibits for zoos, museums and theme parks across North America, with the aim of helping to promote awareness of prehistoric life and endangered wildlife by making learning fun and entertaining.
