    Seeing “Sue” the tyrannasaur’s skeleton at the Chicago Field Museum is pretty impressive. Last time I was there, she was still in the main hall. You walk in and this thing is towering over you, making you just a little glad you didn’t exist 67 million years ago because you are a perfectly sized snack for a 12 meter long T-Rex.

      I used to walk by a replica every day on my way to work, yeah it’s pretty impressive. One of these days I’ve got to take a weekend trip out to Chicago to see the real one.

      I saw the T Rex or similar dinosaur animatronic in the British Natural history museum and TBH, it was long, but not as tall as I thought it would be. I pictured them being several stories tall, but it’s like… a bit taller than a large box truck to double decker bus?
