Dinosaur Sighting: A Stegosaurus of a Different Color

I’ve seen plenty of roadside dinosaurs out here in the American West, and many of them come in muted shades of green and brown. There are a few exceptions to the rule, though, like this hot pink Stegosaurus spotted by reader David Schey at the Dinosaur Ridge visitors center in Morrison, Colorado. “Is this what paleontologists see after having one too many?” David wonders. I can confidently say, “no.” When I’ve had one too many, I see pink Allosaurus.
