On the first floor of the Natural History Museum, a 400-square-meter Dinosaur Park attracts many visitors.
The park features dozens of dinosaur models, both moving and stationary, displayed in a setting that replicates the natural environment of their time. These exhibits showcase some of the most representative dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era, often referred to as the “Age of Reptiles.” Some models are built to life-size proportions, while others are scaled-down replicas.
Among the dinosaurs on display is the Tyrannosaurus, a fearsome carnivore. According to lecturer Ri Kyong Mi, herbivorous dinosaurs lived in herds, while carnivorous dinosaurs hunted alone.
The Tyrannosaurus thrived during the Cretaceous period and was one of the most ferocious predators of its time. It had long and powerful legs, a large and thick skull, relatively small eyes, and short, thin forelimbs. It reached 12 meters in length, weighed 6,625 kilograms, and survived by hunting herbivorous dinosaurs.
The Dinosaur Park provides a visual and interactive experience, allowing visitors to see and understand that dinosaurs were not just mythical creatures but real animals that once roamed the Earth.
