Did you know that when Tyrannosaurus rex was a hatchling it was most likely covered in fluffy feathers? Go behind the scenes of T. rex: The Ultimate Predator, an exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History, with paleontologist Mark Norell and the model makers to find out how they create the stunningly detailed, life-sized models of the iconic dinosaur as a baby, juvenile, and menacing adult. Warning: you may never think of T. rex the same way again.
