I am so excited to be next to that triceratops...i freaking LOVE dinosaurs! I had never been to a natural history museum before and was so excited as the Field Museum was such a huge facility. They had an entire exhibit that was based around the evolution of the planet so ever few rooms showcased different fossils and stages of life on the planet.
The largest and most complete Tyrannasaurus Rex fossil skeleton in existence. It was smaller than I thought it would be, but really freaking awesome.... and Sue really had some small ass arms. And it is named Sue after the person who found the fossil not because they actually know the gender of the dinosaur.
Forrest standing in a "footprint" of a brontosaurus. We could probably fit 2-3 more Forrests in there and still have room for a few more feet.
Stegasaurus!!! I am still so excited about all these dinosaurs.
They even had "Lucy" one of the earliest varieties of almost humans...They also had this huge section that featured taxidermied animals called "animals of the world" which was a little creepy but cool. Basically someone killed a lot of animals so they can stuff them for us to look at. The endangered animal section was the funniest....they had these notes that said "last seen..." and I wanted to say "last seen on it's way to the Field Museum" LOL.
Also, Africa has the most amazing variety of animals out ther...holy moly! They also have animals that apparently got stuck in between varieties during evolution because they looked like unholy combinations of convential animals. I wonder what else is out there that we haven't seen yet.
