Taiwan Exhibits Dinosaur Fossils

A dinosaur exhibition with 250 fossils, such as dinosaur claws and eggs is set to open Saturday in Taiwan.

The largest exhibit is a male Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. It measures about 13 feet high and 39 feet long.

A researcher says the most distinctive feature of the T-Rex fossils are their big heads and short forearms.

Other items in the exhibition include the Allosaurus, Pterosaurus, and Hesperosaurus.

[Shigeru Suzuki, Hayashibara Museum of Natural Sciences]:
I wish that Taiwanese people can also understand the process of dinosaur research, enjoy an environment surrounded with dinosaurs, and learn all the knowledge about dinosaurs.

Along with the pre-historic skeletons, three robot dinosaurs also came from Japan.

Children at the exhibition said they weren't afraid of the giant monsters that once ruled the earth.

[Hsieh Hsiang-han, Visitor]:
"The dinosaurs in the television are a bit small, a little bit. Journalist asking: "How about this one? Hsiang-han replying: It's bigger."

The exhibition runs through April.
