The documentary also shows how a life-size skeleton of the dinosaur was built with the help of 3D scanning and CGI visuals and animation. Check it out, along with one of the original 8-foot femur fossils, in person at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History. Can’t get enough of giant extinct beasts?
