Discover the world of dinosaurs with the whole family. The new permanent exhibition “Dinosaurs! Age of Giant Lizards” shows you, among many dinosaurs, not only Tristan, the original skeleton of the world-famous Tyrannosaurus Rex, but now also the 2-meter-long skull of the Triceratops Amalie! Diplodocus is among the most easily identifiable dinosaurs, with its typical sauropod shape, long neck and tail, and four sturdy legs.
For many years, it was the longest dinosaur known. Brachiosaurus was a very tall plant-eating dinosaur that lived in prehistoric North America. Experts think Brachiosaurus fed on leaves from tall trees, such as conifers and tree ferns. Brachiosaurus couldn’t chew, so it swallowed the vegetation whole.
It digested the tough leaves using a process called hindgut fermentation. Instead of breaking down food in its stomach, Brachiosaurus had a special area in its intestines where tiny bacteria helped break down the plant matter.
Kentrosaurus is a genus of stegosaurid dinosaur from the Late Jurassic in Lindi Region of Tanzania named and described by German palaeontologist Edwin Hennig in 1915. Often thought to be a “primitive” member of the Stegosauria.
