Dinosaurs Unearthed features world's first set of full-sized, feather-covered dinosaurs

Dinosaurs Unearthed, on view through September 7 at the Cincinnati Museum Center, highlights some of the most thought-provoking paleontological discoveries of the past decade.

In recent years, paleontologists have uncovered fossilized evidence that suggests that many famous dinosaur species may have been covered in feathers for camouflage, travel, or warmth.

These feathered dinosaurs, along with many other species, are displayed in animatronic form -- some up to 55 feet long and 22 feet high.

Accompanying the exhibit is Dinosaurs Alive, an OMNIMAX film that takes visitors on a journey to dinosaur life from the early Triassic period all the way through the late Cretaceous (approximately 250 million to 70 million years ago) and explores the early roots of paleontology in the Gobi Desert.
