Meet Roary, our resident Tyrannosaurus Rex! This carnivorous cutie's relatives roamed the earth about 68 million years ago but he's content being carried around in the 21st century. Roary has striking orange scales, a playful personality, and a sharp yet friendly smile, so watch your fingers when petting that big head of his!

Meet Munchkin, our cuddly Triceratops. Munchkin's vegetarian relatives lived on Earth about 65 million years ago, using their large horns to knock down trees to get the very best leaves on top. Don't be fooled by her pointy horns though: under her rough skin is a big heart and a gentle personality!

Meet Shelly, our sweet but shy Pachycephalosaurus! Known for their dome-shaped, thick, skulls, these "bone-headed" dinosaurs roamed the earth 66 million years ago. Many paleontologists believe they used their thick skulls for combat, similar to modern-day goats, but the only thing Shelly has rammed is the top of her eggshell! Her shy nature makes her want to hide in her egg... maybe some gentle children can convince her to come out and play! 

Here's Clawdio, our sweet and spicy velociraptor! Jurassic Park got these guys all wrong: he might look like a baby, but he's actually fully grown! These dinos lived in Asia during the late Cretaceous Period but Clawdio is loving his new home in southern Maine. Don't ask him about his lack of feathers: they haven't come in yet and he gets a little self conscious (and chilly in the winter)! 

Cara the Para (short for parasaurolophus) is our newest addition to Jurassic Jo's Hatchery & Conservation! This herbivore is cuddly, curious, and very social, which makes perfect sense since parasaurolophus' used to roam in huge herds. Maybe if you're really patient, you'll hear her practice her "Cara Calls": her large crest turns her hums into horns!
