The American Museum of Natural History today announced a foremost new exhibition, The World's Largest Dinosaurs (from April 16, 2011 to January 2, 2012), which will get visitors beyond the bones and into the amazing anatomy of a uniquely super-sized group of dinosaurs who flourished for 140 million years: the long-necked and long-tailed sauropods, which ranged in size from 15 to 150 feet long.
Drawing on the most recent science that looks in part to presented organisms to realize these long-extinct giants, The World's Largest Dinosaurs will reply such intriguing questions as how an very large animal breathes, eats, moves, and survives by illuminating how size and scale are related to fundamental biological functions.
Modern interactive exhibits-including the centerpiece, a life-sized, detailed model of a 60-foot Mamenchisaurus-will receive visitors inside these giants' bodies, shedding light on how heart rate, respiration, metabolism, and reproduction are linked to size.
