Baby Sinclair

Baby Sinclair is the youngest member of the Sinclair family in the television series Dinosaurs. He hatched from his egg in the premiere episode, “The Mighty Megalosaurus”.

His catchphrases include “I’m the baby, gotta love me!” and “Not the mama!” The latter is often spoken to his father, Earl Sinclair, whom he repeatedly bashes with a frying pan, though they form a slightly friendlier relationship over time. The toddler’s relationship with his mother, Fran Sinclair is more affectionate, but the dinosaur child’s wisecracks are also aimed at his siblings – Robbie and Charlene. His grandmother, Ethyl often reads to him, the pair both rejoicing in Earl’s foolishness.

Also, Baby Sinclair is quite intelligent for his age, being able to speak and spell at a very young age. Never formally named until near the end of the second season, the infant Sinclair is briefly named “Aaah Aagh I’m Dying You Idiot,” the result of the then-Chief Elder keeling over during the official christening. By episode’s end, he has been legally named “Baby Sinclair.”

As a hand puppet creation and the smallest member of the show’s core regular cast, the character was portrayed by Kevin Clash, with the eyes operated by John Kennedy and the arms operated by Terri Hardin (replaced by Julianne Buescher for the final season).
