One Of The Best-Preserved T-Rex Skeletons In The World | Moving 66 million year old 'Tristan Otto'

The Tyrannosaurus rex "Tristan Otto" is one of the best-preserved specimens of its kind in the world. For some five years, the roughly 66-million-year-old dinosaur was the star of Berlin’s Natural History Museum. Now, the huge skeleton has been packed bone by bone into around 30 crates, and sent on one-year loan to Copenhagen, where the 300-piece skeleton has been reassembled with utmost care.

I always have an existential crisis whenever I remember that dinosaurs once walked the earth.

[Guitar]

Just try and imagine that skeleton bulked out with muscle cartilage flesh and skin. It’s crazy.

[taylor-bgug]

absolutely insane that these things actually walked around the same land we do. dinosaurs were around for 165 million years and only went extinct 65 million years ago. to put that into perspective, our current form of human evolution has only been present for 200, 000 years or so

[sheisswarovski]

I love that the speaker's so enthusiastic and passionate.

[randomguyodst]

Those claws look like they’re used for gripping like an eagle.

[haamyl]

It SO CRAZY how these creatures once existed.

[Mace-_-frmthaO]

Such a shame that we can’t even comprehend that some of these creatures ruled our planet, I just wish that one day that dinosaurs can come back and I can experience some of the greatest creatures ever.

[Runeansfelt]

So lucky to be living in Copenhagen and very close to the museum. Will go there for sure!!!! 👌🏻

[halseyashley]

Truly gigantic!! Thanks for the video!! I hope one day I can see Tristan in person :)

[robertschlesinger]

Very interesting and worthwhile video. The donor's skns, Tristan and Otto, will long be remembered because of the T.rex.

[StrangeFruit]

I was really lucky to see this huge guy in my visit in Copenhagen!!!

[broderp]

That rex has a massive overbite. Looks funny.

[STHFGDBY]

Incorrect statement was said by the owner saying 50 % of this T.REX was unearthed, and that that was the biggest percentage amount ever unearthed of a T Rex, but the T Rex Sue had 90 % of it's remains unearthed and is without doubt the greatest T Rex ever discovered.

My friend Clayton Phipps found the best dinosaur specimens ever. The dueling dinosaurs.

[generator]

A totally different world.

And 65 million years from today another totally different world.

[FireChicken]

Remember. This thing was the size of a large elephant.
An APEX PREDATOR THE SIZE OF AN ELEPHANT HOLY FRICK!

[Nikolai]

To think a predator this massive, walked upon our very planet

[Trojan]

Went to see TRex Sue at Chicago Field Museum, think 90% complete. Awesome beast, putting on my 4K Jurassic Park disc tonight

[Jarod-vgwq]

Hope more complete T.rex skeletons are found.

This T-Rex guy was farsighted. He knew that in millions of years, a movie director would want to make movies about dinosaurs; so he made the decision to preserve very well.
