Young herbivore taken out of a huge crate. She is to be assembled tomorrow Tuesday before exhibit next month
She is millions of years old, and so a few months of waiting is no big deal. In a crate for some time now, Misty, the University of Copenhagen’s dinosaur, is soon to be exhibited in the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
The Diplodocus, a North American species, was among the biggest dinosaurs ever to have existed. Known by their long necks and tails from cartoons and films, the herbivores existed 150 million years ago
Our reporter was at the grand opening of the crate, together with a group of other journalists, museum staff, and their kids who took the day off to take a quick lesson in palaeontology.
