A restored full-length skeleton of tyrannosaurus rex is on display at the National Science Museum in Tokyo. The reconstruction works of the popular prehistoric animals’ skulls and bones in natural postures are part of a three-month dinosaur exhibition at the museum that runs through Sept 30.

    Hey, a prehistoric fossil of extreme age driven out of existence by an inability to adapt. The irony is killing me. You don't need to go to the museum to see that; just walk down any Tokyo street near the Diet.

    Except for the fact that many of those creatures are unfortunately still IN existence and will be for the foreseeable future.

    That's a huge skeleton of a....predator? Or a scavenger? Paleontologists are divided on the question in regards to T-Rex. I guess when they say "natural postures" he's not upright like Godzilla. That was proven to be physically improbable after computer-based structural analysis.
