The Zuozhen Fossil Park’s “Dragon’s Flight and Phoenix’s Dance: The Evolutionary Story of Dinosaurs and Birds” exhibition focuses on the evolution of Mesozoic dinosaurs and modern birds, illustrating how scientists have reconstructed the evolutionary trajectory from fossil evidence. The exhibition deciphers the evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds through six major units: “Origin,” “Research,” “Flight,” “Egg,” “Extinction,” and “Dinosaurs Everywhere.” Complementing this special exhibition, the Yuri Studio team has tailored the “Dragon’s Flight and Phoenix’s Dance” panoramic animation for the park’s 360-degree panoramic theater, showcasing the diversity and beauty of birds through animation and sound.
As the theater begins, viewers are transported to an ancient world where dinosaur images emerge before their eyes. Following this, from the earliest single-celled organisms to the iconic feathered dinosaurs, viewers can clearly see the characteristics and habits of these creatures on the surrounding large screens. After the extinction of the dinosaurs, the theater shifts to the modern era where birds become the protagonists. From small sparrows to large flying birds, viewers can observe these creatures up close and learn about their roles and values in the ecosystem. Finally, the theater brings the scene back to real life, concluding this extraordinary journey.
