Interview with Pete Larson from the Black Hills Institute and a discussion of the new movie "Dinosaur 13" which details the discovery and legal battle over the T-rex Sue. Pete Larson, paleontologist and president of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research in South Dakota. He led the excavation of the T-rex “Sue,” the largest and most complete T-rex found. The documentary, Dinosaur 13, came out about the excavation, detailing the federal government’s seizure of Sue, the 10-year long legal battle, how Black Hills came together to fight for Sue, and Larson’s 18 months in prison. The dinosaur of the day is Tyrannosaurus Rex, which is ancient Greek for “Tyrant Lizard.” T. rex lived during the late Cretaceous period, in western North America (at the time an island continent called Laramidia) T. rex was one of the largest known land predators; up to 40 feet in length, 13 feet tall at the hips, and 6.8 metric tons T. rex was probably a predator and a scavenger, and was estimated to have one of the largest bite forces among all terrestrial animals Scientists used to think T. rex walked upright and dragged its tail (a “living tripod”) but now they think the tail as off the ground, as seen in Jurassic Park. Henry Fairfield Osborn, the former president of the American Museum of Natural History, was convinced T. rex stood upright and unveiled the first complete T. rex skeleton this way in 1915. It stood in this upright pose for 77 years, until 1992. T. rex probably had feathers, at least on parts of its body. T. rex had enhanced eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell (comparable to modern vultures), and could track prey movements from long distances. T. rex may have had pack behavior.
