UM-Bot Posted May 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2015 A new documentary will see a team of experts build and then autopsy a life-size Tyrannosaurus replica. There's only so much you can learn about a dinosaur by looking at its bones, so to help discover more about these prehistoric reptiles a new National Geographic documentary will be following the efforts of a team of palaeontologists as they put together a full scale replica of a Tyrannosaurus rex and then conduct an autopsy on it.

jarjarbinks Posted May 18, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Cool, but not as cool as the dude who was eaten alive by a snake, wearing a special suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atuke Posted May 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I hope they have to pluck it first. Most likely these giants had feathers of some kind and were more bird-like than just some lumbering reptile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiYoshi Posted May 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's a moot point whether or not they had feathers and kept them into adulthood.This program on the television looks worth the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenemet Posted May 18, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (sigh) Headline should read "Paleontologist and fans" -- not a team of paleontologists. Yeah, I'm picky. But after reading "a few surprises" mentioned, I'm less than enamored of the idea. Picky, picky, picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted May 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 18, 2015 It's a moot point whether or not they had feathers and kept them into adulthood.This program on the television looks worth the watch. Why do you say that it's worth watching? The dino will be fake and built to someone's specifications. So the insides of the dino will be known before the autopsy, so what's the point!?spleen/heart "Oh, look at how (insert large/small/odd-shaped....) the liver /kidneys... are/is!"

Whatsinausername Posted May 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2015 SO they're going to build a fake dinosaur, fill it with fake guts, then dissect it and try and then be amazed at what they discover? :lol: :lol: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne dArc Posted May 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If it doesn't have feathers, I will be extremely disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nnicolette Posted May 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Lol autopsy a replica? At the end do they decide why the dinosaurs died or what the plastic is made of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
