Who would have thought an ostrich had so much in common with a dinosaur? But look at a side-by-side image of a Struthiomimus—often dubbed the “ostrich mimic”—and the similarities are striking. The long legs and beaked mouth make the dino look like a featherless ostrich. The two belong to different eras, but genetically, they are not that far apart.

This uncanny resemblance is just one of the many fascinating evolutionary links explored in Dinosaurs Among Us, an immersive new exhibition at the Nehru Science Centre in Worli. A collaboration between Get Set Learn and the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), the exhibition invites visitors to imagine a world where dinosaurs never really went extinct, they just evolved into birds.
