The luxuriant vegetation of the torrid zone flourished and swarmed, for the temperature all over was what it is today at the equator. Gigantic vegetarians were the animals, creatures like the dinosaurs, enormous, gargoylean monsters, of an incredible size and strength, but clumsy and grotesque, with small brains and little intelligence.
If so, he readily pardoned David his theories on the Dinosaurs and his doubts as to the unvarying evidence of Divine Wisdom in the story of Creation.
"There were no 'dinosaurs', only Zards, for when the radiation levels were still high and unstable, we grew to enormous sizes, and likewise there were no wholly mammoths, but Canitaurs.
Once he was aboard the Pullman he would be out of danger; her responsibility would be over and the whole affair would become a bizarre memory; an incident closed. "Back to New York," he said, as one who enters a fog without a compass. "Back to fight pleosaurs, dinosaurs, and all kinds of monsters," he added, with a cheeriness which rang with the first false note she had heard from him.
He'd go over what was aboard, and trade one for one for the old films he'd shown already. "They tell me there's a real Old-Terran-style Western been showing on Völund that ought to be coming our way this time," he said. "It was filmed in South America, with real horses." That would go over big here. Almost everybody thought horses were as extinct as dinosaurs.
She may have heard that there were once dinosaurs and flying reptiles, but if so it made no deep impression on her. Somebody had said, or was saying, that we were descended from monkeys, which was quite absurd, though it might be true enough. On the sea the thrashing hills of green water suggested a kind of immensity and terror, but not the immensity of the poet's heart.
I seem to remember Professor Owen invented them but he never wavered in his faith and was the great opponent of that rash man, Darwin. Oh, I remember now the old controversies what a stalwart was the Bishop of Winchester! They couldn't bear him at their Scientific meetings there was one at Bath, if I recollect right, and he put them all to the right-about. What about your Dinosaurs?
The huge reptilian creatures of Mesozoic time the various dinosaurs had ridiculously small heads and brains, but they had what might be called supplementary brains well toward the other end of the body, great nervous masses near the sacrum, many times the size of the ostensible brain, which no doubt performed certain brain functions.
We can only imagine, therefore, that the balance of Nature is preserved by some check which limits the numbers of these ferocious creatures. One of the many interesting problems, therefore, which await our solution is to discover what that check may be and how it operates. I venture to trust that we may have some future opportunity for the closer study of the carnivorous dinosaurs."
