True for Scientific American today, not true for Galileo.
“Dinosaur” wasn’t a thing we started knowing about until the early 1800s. Benjamin Franklin died not knowing Dinosaurs were a thing.
But Galileo would have certainly known about elephants though.

Right, that’s what I was implying. However, I looked again and the article does mention elephants and dinosaurs.
