Taking a selfie with the tyrant lizard king |
The Natural History Museum Oxford
Standing guard, Tyrannosaurus Rex, ready to pounce towers over us.
Apparently most people recognise the 'tyrant lizard king' as a dinosaur. However some people get confused with so much on display
Here are the things to aid identification:
1. Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived on land.
2. They did not fly like the pterosaurs,
3. Or swim like the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.
Their legs were held directly underneath them;
Other reptiles, like crocodiles and lizards, walk with their legs held to the side of their body.
Hopefully the key points will be of value during the summer holidays.
And do, if the opportunity occurs, like Noah (yellow jacket) and Sophie, get Mum to grab you a selfie with 'the king'.
