The story behind the image

The dinosaur museum in Denkendorf, Bavaria, is the perfect way to spend an afternoon with kids. It features not only life sized models of many dinosaurs and other animals of the past but also an area where you can search for fossils. The offering is rounded off by a archeology museum with a real skeleton of a teen Tyrannosaurus rex.

The park is a bit off the beaten path, and you have to drive a bit across the Bavarian countryside, but you won’t miss the parking lot and main entrance: A life sized T rex lurks over the bushes a pretty scary view that will excite any dinosaur fan.

When we arrived at the site I could not resist to find an angle that shows just the dino and the bushes (and keeps cars, people, and signs out of the frame.) And yes, upon first glance it looks pretty real.
