dinosaurs alive!
Come along to Auckland Museum this winter and meet our brand new treasure, our life-like dinosaur!
In a world first, the female dryosaur recently captured in Auckland Domain has come to live in the Museum. Here she will receive ongoing expert care and maintenance under the watchful eye of our in-house palaeontologist.
Visitors to the Museum from Saturday 9 July will have the special opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with our beautiful dinosaur in an experience unlike any other!
Come along and see for yourself how Auckland’s new pet is settling in. Every show is bound to be different as she becomes familiar with the Museum and makes new discoveries. And don’t worry, dryosaurs are herbivores so prefer to munch on plants and trees - they don’t like the taste of children! about our dryosaur
The dryosaur lived in the Cretaceous period, about 140 million years ago, so even the possibility of a live specimen propelled parts of the community into an uproar. The herbivorous dinosaur will, undoubtedly, take some time to find her feet in the modern world, and, indeed in a museum, but it has been decided that the museum staff and resident experts are the most qualified to care for and to study her.
She is 3 metres long, 1.5 metres tall at the hips, and weighs about 90 kilos. She is a fast bipedal runner (to escape predators) with a large stiffened tail for balance. It is unknown at this stage what her new exercise regime will entail as it is unlikely that predators will present a problem in Auckland. She also has self-sharpening cheek teeth and a horny beak for grinding up plant material. As most of her food will be provided for her, the museum may need to seek specialist dental advice. Dryosaurs also travelled in herds and it is anticipated that providing adequate socialisation in the absence of a group of peers will prove most challenging.
At this point it is unknown whether the animal will be able to be lead or house trained, but efforts will be made with both as this could affect the success of public showing. The dinosaur will not be taught tricks as such, but a measure of behavioural training will be required to ensure the safety of the public, and ease of handling by staff.
