SUE: The T. Rex Experience Roars Into Denver

A new exhibit is opening on February 12th at the Denver Museum Of Nature and Science, and it's one of their biggest yet. Read more at cbsloc.al/3rGwy3p

[@IloveJellow]

@@Kenneth_James still though having an infection in the mouth is super painful I know I had all my wisdom teeth go bad and they caused infections got them alll removed though so I am better sadly for her she doesn't have that option and it slow went into her jaw I couldn't even start to imagine how that felt considering the only way for them to eat is with biting and tearing.

[@codyking4848]

The fact that Sue once walked the earth is both terrifying and incredible. A lot of people in the comments joking about "aww she's so chonky I wanna pet her" but just imagine being in the jungle and realizing you were being stalked by 40 and a half foot long, 10 ton T-Rex and she's managed to sneak up to within 100 feet of you. A recent study of T- Rex prints concluded that T Rex was amazingly capable of stalk and ambush hunting. Absolutely terrifying thought, not seeing something that big until it's too late.

It's funny, I went this last week and she's there before my birthday when she goes back. And they have awesome new upgrades at the Museum!! And the air is stupidly humid with alternate changes to even the filters in the exhibit room since they wanted to replicate the Cretaceous air. There's also Denversaurus and a crocodile skull with half of its face that has the actual skin still on from Colorado itself.

[@haydendraycott7897]

Honestly it's a bit of a relief to see them go back to the bulkier, more robust dinosaurs like what was commonly illustrated when they first started studying them seriously in the early 20th century. I've always preferred the older illustrations of dinosaurs, even if they still aren't the most accurate, yet when they were actually drawn as lumbering but no less powerful and intimidating looking beasts instead of just "big reptiles" like later reconstructions dummed them down to for a while. I feel like this is a good reconstruction based on an older but possibly more realistic design.

[@phoebusapollo8365]

It was more because most reconstructions, even scientific ones, started shrinkwrapping the animals. Shrinkwrapping is following the skeleton too closely with little to no room for actual muscle and flesh, thus making the animal skinnier than it would’ve been and making it look severely underweight. This new reconstruction isn’t exactly based on an older design, just properly muscled and fleshed like a healthy, well-fed animal, instead of a bony, underweight movie monster.

Sue in the Field Museum in Chicago is awesome. They had a funny/sad video of where a person wore a T-Rex costume (the cheap one). People who saw it were amused, stunned. The security guard was like “you’ve got to be kidding!” One person did a selfie. THEN, they saw the skeleton of Sue. It dropped to its knees in agony (people were stunned). Later it put some roses on the stand that explained her. Now she is on the 2nd floor in a darkened room. There is a recorded message about Sue. The use different colored lights to show different things in the talk. Awesome!

There were debates about Tyrannosaurs having the deep growls of a crocodile. Just curious, what do you think about that? With the given factor of stretched vocal cords and general mass of a T-Rex, it would make sense that the roars and growls would be more throaty, especially with everyone finally understanding she would have had lips to protect her teeth with moisture for structure.

The Wyoming Dinosaur Center (in Thermopolis, Wyoming) is pretty good to. Hopefully, someday I'll visit the American Museum of Natural History (New York, NY) and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (Pittsburgh, PA). The first fossil hunters funded by these museums in the 1870s discovered/named the popular dinosaurs we grew up with (Stegasaur, Apatosaur, T-rex, etc). I grew up in Northern Virginia so my brother and I visited the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History too many times.

[@samanthacallaway2276]

Sue has been moved from the main hall to the dinosaur hall and got reconstructed in the process. So the skeleton is now as accurate as it can be. Instead the main hall is now occupied by a replica of a titanosaur skeleton named Maximo...it takes up the entire hallway more or less. You’re allowed to touch him too and walk under him, also the “fleshed out sue” from this video was on display in the main hall for awhile as well, I can’t remember if it’ll eventually go back there or not.
