Edmontonia in Museum of Life and Science

There is an old Chinese saying, "One can not judge a person from his/her outlook". Over the years, we have learned that there are so many talented people around us and we simply do not know about it. So, we give everyone our deepest respect regardless of his/her educational history. When we visited the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, North Carolina on 16th January 2011, saw this dinosaur on display, and read the sign, we even think that we can not judge a dinosaur from its look.

When we first saw this dinosaur, we thought it must be a dangerous and human-eating one. Those spikes on its back would scarce others away. In fact, this dinosaur, Edmontonia, was herbivore. They were plant-eating dinosaurs. Even though they looked like they were mean and dangerous, they did not eat human or any meat.
