Hey there, time traveller!

T-Rexes and Triceratops became extinct 65 million years ago, but life-sized replicas will be at Assiniboine Park Zoo this summer.
Dinosaurs Alive, 15 animatronic dinosaurs, has been announced as the star attraction at the zoo for a limited engagement. It’s expected to open in late May.
The dinosaurs will move and bellow but won’t walk, said Gary Lunsford, head of zoological operations.
The exhibit is sponsored by Winnipeg company Artis REIT, which deals in office and retail properties.
The dinosaurs will be in the northwest part of the zoo along the forest trail. The exhibit will be included in regular zoo admission, Lunsford said.
The show includes a variety of dinosaurs, including recent species discovered as recently as 2010, Lunsford said. That includes the Mojoceratops and Kosmoceratops.
It’s not the first time Winnipeg has had the opportunity to come face to scary face with such replica dinosaurs. For several months in 2013, a four-metre tall T-Rex model that moved and growled, stood outside the Manitoba Museum as part of a museum exhibition called Dinosaurs Unearthed.
