Rudolph F. Zallinger
Rudolph Franz Zallinger (; November 12, 1919 – August 1, 1995) was an American-based Austrians, Austrian-Russians, Russian artist. His most notable works include his mural ''The Age of Reptiles'' (1947) at Yale University's Peabody Museum of Natural History, and the ''March of Progress'' (1965) with numerous parodies and versions. His painting of a ''Tyrannosaurus'' heavily influenced the creature design of Toho Studios' ''Godzilla (1954 film), Godzilla'' (1954). Two of Zallinger's dinosaurs—the ''T. rex'' and ''Brontosaurus—''are seen in that film as part of a slide demonstration during a lecture in the National Diet Building. Born in Russia, he was raised in Seattle and became a prominent member of Yale University after painting his murals, gaining him awards and honors. He made illustrations for Life (magazine), Life magazine and illustrations for dinosaur books, which made more people aware of his mural work. Because of the time in which they were painted, his murals hav ...

Siberia
Siberia ( ; rus, Сибирь, r=Sibir', p=sʲɪˈbʲirʲ, a=Ru-Сибирь.ogg) is an extensive geographical region, constituting all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has been a part of Russia since the latter half of the 16th century, after the Russians conquered lands east of the Ural Mountains. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of over , but home to merely one-fifth of Russia's population. Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Omsk are the largest cities in the region. Because Siberia is a geographic and historic region and not a political entity, there is no single precise definition of its territorial borders. Traditionally, Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean. The river Yenisey divides Siberia into two parts, Western and Eastern. Siberia stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-ce ...
