o one really knows why
dinosaurs, which
reigned for 160 million
years, became extinct. But
America's fascination with
the animals has led to a
fever that is alive and well at
Detroit Zoological Park.
Zoo Director Ron Kagan
is reveling in the success of
Dinosauria, a traveling
exhibit depicting the history
of the extinct animals.
Admissions have
increased by more than 50
percent since the exhibit
began in April. He says the
exhibit has contributed to
the growth of the numbers of
visitors.
The exhibit came to the
zoo shortly before the release
of the hit movie Jurassic
Park. But Mr. Kagan
assures zoo goers there was
no cross-marketing between
the exhibit and the movie.
"Our success has nothing
to do with the success of the
movie," he says. "The movie
is quite scary. Our exhibit is
for families and kids. Our
position is education."
