As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

I can't believe the article doesn't credit Stan Winston anywhere, he was the the special effects genius behind making all those animatronics, he was responsible for so many of the cool special effects from 80's and 90's, he worked on the Xenomorph in Aliens, the terminators in the first two movies, the alien in The Thing, the Predator. He is one of the only special effects artist to have a star on the walk of fame. The man is totally an unappreciated genius.

When we were watching Jurassic Park on the tv, our cat Salem was scared of the TRex. Later he crept out from behind the sofa and smacked the TRex on the tv screen!

Oh and yes, dinosaurs do walk among us. When my hens, Buttercup and Shelley, are walking in the garden, I hum the theme tune from Jurassic Park. Shelley, I am sure, remembers when hens were dinosaurs, and has decided that she is still is on.
