Dinosaur Sighting: Miniature Mesozoic Battle

Most of the dinosaur sightings readers have sent in are of big creatures, but this week we have dinosaurs on a smaller scale.
Following up her last submission of a giant pliosaur—which wasn’t a dinosaur, but a fearsome Mesozoic marine reptile—former Food & Think blogger Amanda Bensen (now Fiegl) has sent us a photo of a dinosaur action scene from Washington, D.C. I like it. It’s a nice mix of some of the old, grotesque dinosaur toys I had as a kid and some of the newer models. I wonder which side will win? The grumpy, outdated dinosaurs, or their supercharged replacements?
