The Field Museum's new Spinosaurus exhibit is longer than its famed T. rex named Sue.
The Field Museum"It was well-adapted to eat fish, and would have spent much of its time in and around rivers," said Ben Miller, exhibitions developer at the Field Museum.
"For that reason, we decided to display Spinosaurus in a swimming pose, suspended 12 feet above the floor."
But that's because this dinosaur exhibit has a few key secrets that made it all possible.
That specimen was about 50% complete, Miller said, and is what the Field Museum cast is based on.
