About the Royal Ontario Museum:
The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto recently unveiled its brand-new Temerty Dinosaur Galleries, which features full-sized reproductions of over 20 dinosaurs, as well as avian and aquatic reptiles--including a skeleton of Quetzalcoatlus (the largest pterosaur that ever lived) swooping down from the ceiling. Among the most popular specimens here are (as you might have guessed) T. Rex and Deinonychus, as well as a huge Barosaurus and various hadrosaurs, such as Maiasaura and Parasaurolophus.
The fossil collection of the Royal Ontario Museum doesn't begin and end with dinosaurs. A gallery devoted to Triassic life forms is scheduled to open in 2009, and visitors can currently see numerous fish and invertebrate fossils, as well as specimens of the dinosaur's successors in the "The Age of Mammals" exhibit. Other attractions include "Continents Adrift," which examines the drifting land masses of the Mesozoic Era, and the self-explanatory "The Evolution of Birds."
