King of Dinosaurs


Link to YouTube Video used.Use arrow keys for volume control.

The Tyrant Lizard King, Tyrannosaurus Rex, better known as T-rex. The biggest predator of all time, ruled the Cretaceous era. It is only suiting that it is placed in the middle as the main attraction of its era.

T-rex are known as predators, capturing and killing their preys. They are widely accepted to be solitary predators, however some also believed that they hunt in small groups, known as family hunters.

What seemed to be like a couple of T-rex hunting together were actually a display of the couple "in a mating ritual" (I quote the written explanation on the wall :P )

Prior to entering the museum, there were no signs stating about this display. I wonder how parents would explain to their young kids :P

A close up of the main display of the museum, the mating T-rex'es, the only such display in a European museum!
