| What Dinosaurs Are At Melbourne Museum |
The Main Guest of Honour: Horridus the Triceratops
That's right, folks! The Melbourne Museum boasts the title of housing Australia's most complete real Triceratops skeleton. Get ready to be awestruck by Horridus, a magnificent beast with a frill as wide as a car and a horn that could put a bull to shame. Imagine snapping a selfie with this legendary grazer – your friends will be dino-mite with envy!
Not Just a Tricera-Tea Party: A Parade of Prehistoric Pals
But Horridus isn't the only one crashing this prehistoric party. The Melbourne Museum's Dinosaur Walk features a whole stampede of extinct superstars. You can:
- Duck beneath the belly of a colossal Mamenchisaurus – this gentle giant is as long as a house, so mind your head!
- Come face-to-fang with a Tarbosaurus – this vicious hunter might look like a T-Rex's smaller cousin, but its bite was just as powerful.
- Meet Diprotodon, the world's largest marsupial – think of a wombat on steroids, and you're on the right track!
And that's not all! The Dinosaur Walk is filled with fascinating skeletons, interactive displays, and even a chance to feel real dinosaur bones. You'll leave this exhibit a certified dino-expert, ready to settle any playground debates about who would win in a fight: a Stegosaurus or a Triceratops? (Spoiler alert: it's a close call!)
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
