Royal Saskatchewan Museum is having the big reveal this weekend of Scotty the T-Rex, believed to be the largest and longest-lived T-Rex found (approximately 20,000 lbs and 30 years, respectively). (Although apparently some think Sue is about the same size, and the larger estimate for Scotty is just a statistical margin of error).
Very cool. Now “he” just needs to work on his social media account and he’ll be just like Sue.
But how can they work a keyboard with those tiny forehands?
Practice?
Article from last fall about the installation:
And more recent article about the study indicating Scotty is the biggest found.
I think the more important question is can we use Scott and Sue to start a breeding program?
There may be an age problem… Sue is 2 million years older and may not like the younger generation…
