ABU DHABI: Having recognition for a hundred dinosaurs, this four-year-old UAE resident is a highbrow when it comes to fantasy for dinosaurs.
Muhammad Aizaz Shameem embraced his obsession for dinosaurs with capacity to tell names of a hundred dinosaurs.
His father, Shameem tells a local media there, that the kid
developed passion for animals since his age of three, developed
curiosity to also be capable of differentiating between them.
Atop his knowledge, Aizaz is proficient of naming them all within 30 a span of 30 minutes time. Even in school premises, this kid won’t resist correcting amateur facts around his teacher. "In class, when his teacher says 'D for dinosaur', he says 'no, no, that's a T-Rex. It's in the dinosaur family but you can't just call it a dinosaur.”
His father added that Aizaz shares bundles of facts about dinosaurs with him on daily basis, which also adds to his father’s knowledge about dinosaurs.
"When we take him to the park, he takes my tools and goes digging, pretending to look for fossils. Most kids go on the slides, but not him,” the father added to facts about Aizaz himself.
When it comes to gifts, this kid would prefer a book about dinosaurs rather than having a sweet tooth, his father added.
With a growing collection of books and figures filling the family home, Aizaz is still waiting to get his hands on his favourite figure - a mosasaurus.
"We have looked everywhere in Dubai, but can't find one. But he will keep looking until he finds it," Shameem added.
