They escaped custody when they appeared before Norwich courts.

Prosecutor Lisa Britton said: They broke into the Ice Age indulgence hut and stole sweets, fizzy drinks and other confectionary to the value of £100. Some of these items were afterward found strewn around the park in plastic bags.

They also smashed the hut as they broke in and some of the dinosaurs had been moved out of place.

Wayne Gray, 26, of Catton Grove highway, Norwich, and Paul Sillis, 18, of Berners Close, Norwich, both admitted two counts of theft after they returned to the park and carried out the matching offence.

Richard Harvey, 22, of Julian highway, Spixworth; Jody Newton, 25, of St Leonards Road, Norwich; and Kirsty Gray, 20, of West Acre Drive, Norwich, every one admitted one count of theft.

The court heard that none had been in serious problem before. In mitigation James Burrows said their behavior had been brainless but not malicious and amounted to tomfoolery.

He added: It seemed like a excellent idea and was fun at the time but it has led to these five young people appearing before the court on some quite grave charges.

Magistrate John Nicholls said that the cases of Wayne Gray and Sillis were provoked by the fact they returned and repeated their offense.

Wayne Gray and Sillis were sentenced to 180 hours amateur work for the community with £105 in compensation and costs. Harvey and Norton were sentenced to 120 hours amateur work with £75 compensation and costs. Kirsty Gray was given a 12 month conditional discharge with recompense and costs of £75.

Dinosaurs Invade Downtown

MOBILE, Alabama - It's not a runaway success movie, but Hela Sheth with the Exploreum says, It factually feels like Jurassic Park out here.

Sheth is talking about the latest Exploreum exhibit, ' Dinosaurs Alive!'

We have 12 animatronics dinosaurs. They shift, they roar, we have one dinosaur that even spits at you when you toddle by.

These animatronics dinosaurs run on air pressure and computers, which help the dinosaurs shift and roar.

Alan Sells is a presenter at this display. He says our bones are made from calcium; our giganotosaurus friend is made out of steel. And it's the same with all of our dinosaurs.

Even though this is an outdoor display, the dinosaurs won't have to fret about any rain.

His casing is made of polyurethane rubber. Fancy way of saying a blending of plastics and rubber to create him waterproof, because Lord knows it's going to rain here in Mobile.

You better rush before the dinosaurs become extinct, again. The exhibit tops in April. For more information, call 251-208-6873, or confirm out the Exploreum's website.

3D modelling recreates dinosaur running

Did four-legged dinosaurs gallop like a horse, run similar to an ostrich or hop like a kangaroo? All three have been suggested, but with only fossils to go on it's a tricky puzzle to solve.

That's why Bill Sellers, a computational zoologist at the University of Manchester, UK, has developed a innovative technique for simulating dinosaur movement and working out which gaits they most likely used.

Sellers and his team used a laser scanner to produce a 3D computer model of the skeleton of an Edmontosaurus, a type of hadrosaur or "duck-billed" dinosaur, and added virtual muscles to make it move. Fossilisation does not safeguard a dinosaur's muscles, but educated guesses about how they worked can be made by studying animals alive today, such as ostriches.

Walking With Dinosaurs robot stolen from Mexico show

A remote-controlled dinosaur robot worth about 100,000 Australian dollars (£55,600) has been stolen from a Walking With Dinosaurs show in Mexico.

Staff observed the 1.5m tall robot was missing after the show closed on its opening day in Guadalajara on Friday.
The Australian show based on the BBC series has explored worldwide and been seen by more than four million people.
"Only in Mexico! How it occur we don't know," said the show's spokesman, Karla Arroyo.
It is the first instant an exhibit has been stolen from the show, she added.
The theft did not end the show going ahead.

"Everything went on as usual," said Ms Arroyo.
She said the stolen robot was the least expensive from the show - some measure up to 13m and cost up to 1m Australian dollars.
The show originated in Australia, where it first opened in Sydney's Acer Arena in January 2007.
Ten species are symbolized from the 200 million-year reign of the dinosaurs. The show consist of Tyrannosaurus rex and the Stegosaurus.
The UK tour sold more than 500,000 tickets prior this year and has now moved to Europe.
The Walking With Dinosaurs TV series, which used animatronics and computer graphics to portray the prehistoric animals, was broadcast 10 years ago.
The series took two years to make.
