@JeffreyQuadra

jurassic park is probably the most scientific inaccurate movie about dinosaurs to date.

This is so much cooler than any computer animation.

@ApocDevTeam True, especially when you get down to details like with the dilophosaurus and deinonychus. But you have to admit that despite the dramatic embellishments, those were the most accurate dinosaur renditions for their time, and they are still some of the best even by today's standard.

That is a pretty awesome display!

I wonder how many times they watched Jurassic Park before finishing this haha. Though they probably could have made it actually walk instead of sneak.

Thats sick and funny at the same time

What? The point is to exhibit how a real life T. Rex may walk, not how many mph it would do on a normal basis, besides this is a moderate outlook speed for a Tyrannosaurus 'stalking' its prey.

Museum exhibits have improved since I was little!

@blaster2012 they say that skeleton should be moving at 10 mph if it were life sized, but it more looks like 3-4 mph if that because it looks like it is just ambling around slowly. 10 mph would be a moderate to fast walk for a full grown T-Rex.
