dinosaur?

Like real estate, the oft-maligned dinosaur is frequently misunderstood.  While the dinosaur continues to capture the modern imagination, for many, the dinosaur also connotes something impractically large, slow-moving, obsolete, or bound for extinction.

And yet, the dinosaur was the dominant terrestrial vertebrate animal for over 160 million years. By comparison, the human has been on earth only 200,000 years -- just 1/800 the span of the dinosaur.

And despite its stereotype, widely-accepted research since the 1970s suggests the dinosaur was actually active, intelligent, and highly adaptable to a broad range of situations. 

So, as perceptions slowly change, the dinosaur, like real estate, needs to be reconsidered.
