Tyrannosaurus at Takikawa Museum of Art and Natural History.

This time,I saw an old style reconstruction Tyrannosaurus skeleton for the first time in this museum.

The original is AMNH5027. I guess this Tyrannosaurus is the first Tyrannosaurus as permanent exhibition in Japan. And nowadays old reconstruction Tyrannosaurus skeleton would be really rare in the world. We Japanese often call old reconstruction Godzilla form. I hope that this skeleton to be preserved from now on.
