The stars of Jurassic Park take centre stage at not one, but two,
exhibitions at the Singapore Science Centre.
The Titans of the Past – Dinosaurs and Ice Age
Mammals exhibition, which comprises of two international
travelling dinosaur exhibitions, The Growth and Behaviour
of Dinosaurs and Ice Age, The Exhibition,
showcases life-sized dinosaur skeletons and an impressive
collection of original fossils shipped from the Museum of the
Rockies (MOR) in the United States.
Not only will visitors get to see the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex
(T-Rex) skull ever found, there will also be life-sized skeleton
casts of the 36-metre long Argentinosaurus, the heaviest and
largest land animal ever to walk the earth, and the Giganotosaurus,
one of the largest terrestrial carnivores in the late Cretaceous
period, on display.
“The exhibition tells the story of a dinosaur’s life using real
fossils and specimens that have played a pivotal role to facilitate
our continuous efforts to demystify the prehistoric age and uncover
new finds,” said Dr Jack Horner, MOR’s curator of paleontology and
technical advisor of the Jurassic Park movies.
Dr Horner and his research team discovered that more than one-third
of all dinosaur species classified under the Cretaceous Period may
actually be juveniles, and not different species as believed for
the past century. The specimens, which served as evidence, are
available for your scrutiny.
Apart from fossils and skeletons, animatronic animals from the Ice
Age will also make an appearance. See mammoths, mastodons and
saber-toothed tigers in their habitats and hear the sounds they
make to experience how mammals lived during that period.
