MPAC Sustainability Series: National Geographic Live – Rise of T-Rex (Field Trip)

Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most famous dinosaur out there, but few people know the true story of this species. Go on assignment with paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer Lindsay Zanno to dig sites in the remote deserts of the western U.S. to find out how T. rex evolved. Along the way, uncover the entire landscape—from plants to fish to mammals—where these memorable dinos reigned 66 million years ago.

She is one of the world’s leading experts on the evolution of theropod dinosaurs. Zanno has a soft spot for the American West, where she has discovered more than a dozen new species, including Siats, one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs on the continent, and Moros, North America’s tiniest tyrannosaur.
