Meet The Dino Babies and Trainers!
Meet The Dino Babies
Cammie
Cammie
Cammie is our baby Camarasaurus! She is very adventurous & loves to play with children. Now being a longneck, Cammie is an herbivore; that means she eats plants, leaves, grass, & APPLES! So watch out for your phones if you have an apple, because she’ll take anything she can. She also enjoys stealing hats, toys, & laughter just by dancing, giving hugs, & playing tricks on little kids! Don’t be afraid to take a selfie with her, but hold onto those apples! She’ll light adventure in your own heart by her charming personality & quick wit that you can bring with you to the rest of our exhibit at Jurassic Quest!
Trixie
Trixie
Trixie is our baby Triceratops & she’s what I like to refer to as our therapy dinosaur. If you have any scared or nervous children who are just getting comfortable on our quest for dinosaurs, she is definitely the first dino-friend they should make! Trixie is an herbivore, just like conniving cammie, but she can be much more mild than her! She enjoys being tenderly rubbed on her crown or on her back & she loves to give kisses on the cheek! Since she is a triceratops, she is definitely proud & not afraid to throw her head around if kids get too wild with her, but we encourage children to talk to her trainer to get better tips on how she’s feeling that day & where they should pet her to make her feel most comfortable!
Tyson
Tyson
Tyson is our baby T-rex & he is the most rambunctious of the herd! He is a carnivore which means he eats meat, but there’s no need to worry about him taking a nibble out of you, because we make sure to feed him his favorite food- Tyson chicken nuggets! He does love to give kisses, but he’s got a lot of teeth so sometimes they get in the way. He’ll take a good scratch under the neck, a pat on the head, or a scream if he can scare one out of you! He is always happy to steal the spotlight & for good reason, he is the most exciting baby dinosaur we have here! Just remember- he does not like being messed with so make sure not to pull on his tail or put fingers in his mouth because he doesn’t like it, & his temper is of jurassic proportions!
