Dino Sue is an exact replica of the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found. More than 90 percent of her bones have been accounted for. The replica, like the original, is 40 feet long and 13 feet tall.

Named after fossil hunter Sue Hendrickson, the 67 million-year-old skeleton is one of the most famous fossils of the century because it adds tremendous information to what little is known about the species.

The replica of Sue, who was excavated in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1990, is fittingly on display in DinoLand U.S.A., at the entrance to DINOSAUR, a high-speed attraction that sends guests back to the age of the dinosaurs.

INTERESTING FACTS

* Scientists estimate the original T-Rex Sue was about 45 feet long, stood nearly 14 feet tall and weighed between five and seven tons.

* Chicago's Field Museum purchased the skeleton at public auction in 1997 with financial support from Walt Disney World Resort, McDonald's Corporation, the California State University system, and private individuals.

* Following its discovery, paleontologists from the Field Museum began work on preparing the bones for eventual exhibit in Chicago.

* A large part of the bonework was actually done "on-stage" and in front of guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom by a three-member team from the museum.
