How long have you lived in the valley? I first came in 2004. I lived here until about 2009. Now me and my spouse live in Calgary and I commute everyday.
What do you like most about Drumheller? The beauty of the landscape for sure, and the fact that we find lots of dinosaurs here.
If you could, which dinosaur would you use as a mode of transportation and why? I would have to say a pterodactyl. It would speed up the commute from Calgary to fly the whole way, not to mention I would miss all the traffic.
What is your favorite cartoon dinosaur and why? Dino from The Flintstones. He is the first cartoon dinosaur I can really remember from my childhood.
What pre-historic animal would you like to keep as a pet? I wouldn’t mind a Triceratops. They are herbivores so it probably wouldn’t bite me. It also has lots of spikes and a big tail so it could protect me if need be.
What is your favorite dinosaur-theme movie, besides Jurassic Park? Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. It’s an older movie but I remember it being a nice family movie.
If you could travel back in time, what time period would you visit and why? I would like to visit Alberta when the dinosaurs were still around. It would be interesting to see what they looked like in their living form rather than just at their bones and fossils. I also wouldn’t mind to go back to Ancient Egypt. It would be really neat to see how they accomplished such amazing architecture that still baffles experts today.
