家族で福井恐竜博物館に行ってきた話
2
Just a one-minute English speech by Thinking FOX.
The other day, my family and I went to the Fukui Dinosaur Museum.
Not only is it one of the largest dinosaur museums in Japan,
but it is also known for displaying new dinosaur species discovered in Fukui Prefecture, such as Fukuiraptor and Fukuititan.
The museum’s special exhibition focused on sauropods —known as “Ryukyakurui” in Japanese—which are long-necked dinosaurs such as Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus.
My son and daughter seemed excited as they explored the museum, and I was glad I took them there.
Honestly, I wanted to learn about the many interesting facts written on the display panels with them,
such as how sauropods kept their balance with such extraordinarily long necks,
or how we can tell what kind of food dinosaurs ate.
But in reality, they did nothing but rush toward the Tyrannosaurus replica or get absorbed in the Stegosaurus figures at the souvenir shop,
showing little interest in learning more about the dinosaurs.
I realized that they may need a few more years to grow up before they can truly enjoy a museum like this.
Thinking this way, I was looking at the Mamenchisaurus display.
This sauropod had a neck as long as 15 meters.
Seeing it, I remembered a book about giraffes I had read before.
The book said that a giraffe’s brain is located about two meters above its heart, which makes it difficult to maintain sufficient blood flow to the brain.
This is why a giraffe’s heart needs to pump very forcefully, and its blood pressure can exceed 200 mmHg.
I wondered if the same thing applied to Mamenchisaurus.
So, I asked a staff member nearby.
“How high was Mamenchisaurus’s blood pressure?”
The staff member froze for a moment and replied flatly.
“I don’t know.”
That’s it. See you next time.
