So That Means I Can Write Anything Here?

This isn't new update. I was looking for a picture when I found these collection. It was taken during my Singapore visit May 2006. I always fascinated by history, artifacts and the story behind it. Dinosaur is no exception. Lucky for me, I got a chance to see the exhibition "A T.Rex Named Sue" in Science Center,Jurong.

So why the name "Sue"? This gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex named after its discoverer, Susan Hendrickson. And why it's so special? Because Sue is the largest, most complete and best preserved T. Rex skeleton in the world. Excerpt from The Field Museum, where she rests now: She is 42 feet long and 13 feet high at the hips. In life, she probably weighed 7 tons. She had 58 teeth that ranged in length from 7 ½ to 12 inches long nestled in her 5-foot-long skull. She died 65 million to 67 million years ago. Using growth rings in her bones, scientists estimate that Sue was 28 years old at her death. No one knows Sue's true gender – physical evidence from her skeleton contradicted the leading hypothesis regarding how to identify the sex of a T. rex. Because the dinosaur was named after the woman who discovered it, it is often referred to as "she." Officially, however, Sue is an "it."

Beside the exhibition, we had a chance to see the Imax 3D Dinosaur movie. The whole trip really worth it!
