  • The Tyrannosaurus rex on display at the American Museum of Natural History has been the tyrant lizard king of the public imagination for 100 years. T. rex has inspired Hollywood and pop culture from its first days on exhibit and still continues to awe millions of visitors each year. Legendary book designer Chip Kidd tells the story of how the Museum’s T. rex specimen, AMNH 5027, came to grace the cover of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, while Provost of Science Mike Novacek guides us through the history of this dinosaur icon and Macaulay Curator Mark Norell tells us about the latest science.

      Definitely inspired me when I first saw it as a little kid (it was like a Godzilla that was once alive - especially in it's former pose) and turned me into a dinosaur and overall paleontology enthusiast which I still am to this day.

      Hi! I saw AMNH 5027 in the early 1980s when I was around 6. It inspired my love of paleontology and museums. I later wrote undergraduate and masters' history theses on early dinosaur discovers William Buckland and Edward Hitchcock. I have a photo of myself on FB from my childhood wearing a T-shirt with AMNH 5027 :) Thanks for the video.

    I was 11 yrs old when my family went together and watched this in the theater. It was one of the defining points in my life. We (everyone) had never seen anything like it. The colors on the screen, the clarity, the graphics. People might laugh now, but back then there was nothing even close. When you first saw the dinosaurs, you could have dropped a pin in that theater. Will never forget it.

      These videos are great! Next you should create Exhibits videos focusing on the Barosaurus and Allosaurus (Museum Icons like T. rex: The King of Time and Pop Culture), The Titanosaur (Museum Icons like What Color is a Blue Whale?), Deinonychus, giant sequoia, Citipati, Pteranodon, Neanderthal diorama (Museum Icons), Dolphin and Tuna Diorama (Museum Icons), Edmontosaurus Mummy and Mammoth (Museum Icons), Rapa Nui Moai (Museum Icons) and the Amazon FeatherWork (Museum Icons) and Paleoart (Museum Icons). I also have not read my AMNH books in a while, so I really need to do so.

    I first saw this specimen about 50 years ago, when it stood upright of course, and since then have seen it more than a dozen times. Always the most iconic dinosaur for me, and this the most iconic fossil skeleton. I would venture this may be the most visited skeleton in the world when you consider how long it's been on display, it's location in NYC, and the huge numbers of visitors who visit this great museum year after year.

    I first saw Tyrannosaurus rex at tha AMNH in 1957 pleading my father to take me to NY. I was inspired to become a paleontologist when I read "All About Dinosaurs" by Roy Chapman Andrew's in1954. Roy led the Gobi Desert Asiatic Edpedition for the AMNH in 1922. Steven Speilbergs T rex skeleton in the movie Jurassic Park was made by Peter Mays in Canada and he also built two dinosaur skeletons for me at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa. It's a small dinosaur world.

    When the beast had killed by extinction, it was buried underground in bones people discovered the skeletal creature and began to bury.
    when they took out the parts of the dinosaur skeleton they put them together like jigsaw puzzles. Then be placed it in the American museum of natural history so people could see this mighty creature.

    2:39 I wish the proper term "pterosaurs" was more commonly used by the general public. "Pterodactyl" is old and doesn't help distinguish that pterosaurs were flying reptiles that WEREN'T dinosaurs.

    • @anatotitan
      @anatotitan 4 роки тому +2

      Pterodactyl is fine. "Dinosaur" is old, too. Not exactly sure what you mean by the last point, but "pterosaur" sounds *more* like "dinosaur" than "pterodactyl," so if anything it's arguably more confusing.

      @@jayparker8490 I get your Point, but a Spino will never leave its own turf. (Rivers and creeks) However, all dinosaurs need water to survive and T-rex is no exception. Ps: I have realized that 1: They lived inside different continents during different periods of time. 2: In the animal kingdom there’s a rule that animals need to follow. “If something bigger than you challenges you to a fight, back off. Spino is bigger than T-Rex. T-Rex would most definitely walk away.

      Spinosaurus is having their own reputation increased alright. It’s one of the most problematic dinosaur ever been studied. It has its restoration changed drastically for atleast 4 times and we aren’t still quite sure how it stand or move on land, or who know what else it’s going to look like in the future.
