Peter the T Rex to stay at Auckland Museum for another year

Auckland War Memorial Museum is holding on to its star attraction Peter the T Rex for another year, Stuff reports. One of the most complete in the world, the skeleton has drawn record-breaking crowds to the museum. Chief executive David Gaimster said the T rex was an enduring symbol in popular culture and was particular popular with children. “What’s amazed me is that even the very youngest children recognise this animal,” he said. The skeleton was found in 2018 in a fossil-rich area called the Lance formation, near Wyoming in the western United States.
