Come face to face with a terrifying T. rex. The giant animatronic model is back – beware, its new super-senses might mean you’re next on its list of victims... Marvel at the power of its huge jawbone and 15-centimetre-long teeth.
With its sharp beak and huge horns, the Triceratops looked ferocious, but this enormous beast only used its powerful teeth on vegetation, being the most abundant plant-eater of its time.
The half-buried skeleton of this Edmontosaurus is lying in its death position. A scavenger may have eaten its tail, most of which is missing. You can also see the fossilised skin of an Edmontosaurus, which means this is one of the few dinosaurs whose skin texture is known.
Dinosaurs laid eggs and evidence shows that, like today’s birds, they fed their young until they were strong enough to leave the nest. Here, you can see a model of a Maiasaura nest, complete with hatchlings.
