Dinosaurs have been a lifelong passion for me, serving as one of the main pillars in my life.

I'm Omar Lagarda González, originally from La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, born in 1998. Dinosaurs have been a lifelong passion for me, serving as one of the main pillars in my life. Unfortunately, my city lacks dinosaur remains, prompting me to immerse myself in reading and learning about these fascinating creatures. Alongside my interest in dinosaurs, I also developed a fascination with cetaceans, the largest animals, studying their proportions and sizes and making estimates based on osteological material.

Years later, this knowledge became invaluable in estimating dinosaurs' dimensions. I've had the opportunity to contribute to various projects, including being mentioned in scientific papers, where I served as a consultant and scientific advisor. My primary goal has always been to recreate these animals as accurately as possible, drawing upon current knowledge and research.
