d learned how to create a wound on the head of a dinosaur by studying the human body.

muse: you used to work in movie special effects, right? what did your days as a monster-and-gore artist teach you about dinosaurs?

most recently, for the head of a dinosaur called dryptosaurus, i reached into my old bag of tricks and added some wounds to the creature’s face and neck. some of these looked like healed scars, with a raised, crusty texture and discoloration; others were more like fresh tears in the skin, with blood-red coloration and a shiny coating to make them look wet.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The excerpt doesn't mention saving materials from other movies for dinosaur models. Eliminate A.
• Option B: There's no mention of science interest or museum exhibit in relation to the "old bag of tricks" here. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Tyler worked in movie special effects (as a monster - and - gore artist) and "reached into his old bag of tricks" (used that experience) to add wounds to the dinosaur model, which means he used his movie special effects experience to figure out how to show wounds on a dinosaur. This matches.
• Option D: The excerpt doesn't say he learned to create dinosaur wounds by studying the human body. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. used his movie special effects experience to figure out how to show wounds on a dinosaur.
