Some of the pieces show dinosaurs faced with dilemmas that are easy to imagine them actually having: waiting for eggs to hatch, dealing with young, or the young looking up to the old. And others incorporate more modern ideas: arm wrestling, toys in their own shape, origami, robots. And at least two are fascinated by snails.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be this take on ugly ducklings, featuring s freshly hatched Deinonychus and swan.
