The exhibition is the embodiment of the scenes of the famous franchise, with the use of realistic animatronics and detailed settings and with the interactive presence. The large dinosaurs and dramatic sets usually draw the attention of the visitors and one can easily miss numerous small details in the course of the exhibition.

This significant prop, accompanied by its original case, carries an estimate of $250,000 to $500,000 dollars. Also due to go under the hammer at Propstore auction house in Los Angeles next month is the Fenwick fishing rod with reel, used by Shaw's character, Quint, in his encounter with the ferocious shark. The rod is estimated to sell for between $75,000 and $150,000 dollars.

For example, reader David Erickson had this on his mind: If there were aliens 66 million light-years from Earth, how big a telescope would they need to see dinosaurs? Ha! I love this question. I've thought of it myself but never worked out the mathexcept to think, Probably pretty big, which turns out to dramatically underestimate the actual answer.

Less than a year ago, United States company Colossal Biosciences announced it had "resurrected" the dire wolf, a megafauna-hunting wolf species that had been extinct for 10,000 years. Within two days of Colossal's announcement, the Interior Secretary of the US, Doug Burgum, used the idea of resurrection to justify weakening environmental protection laws: "pick your favourite species and call up Colossal". His reasoning appeared to confirm critics' fears about de-extinction technology. If we can bring any species back, why protect them to begin with?

It all began with an image of Chewbacca carrying C-3PO on his back. That one image from The Empire Strikes Back would inspire one of the best Predator movies ever, a fresh reimagining of the sci-fi horror franchise that turned the slasher monster into the protagonist. But while Star Wars will always be a north star for director Dan Trachtenberg, he didn't make Predator: Badlands with the ultimate goal of making a Star Wars movie - not that he would say no to one.

From the beginning, we knew these bones were exceptional because of their minute size. It is equally impressive how the study of this animal overturns global ideas on ornithopod dinosaur evolution,

Sauropodshumongous reptiles with a long neck and tail and thick, elephantlike legsplayed a starring role in the dinosaur ecosystem, according to a new study. These massive dinosaurs are the largest creatures to ever walk on land. But they also played a crucial part in the food chain, the study authors write, acting as ecosystem engineers. The research was published on Friday in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin.

The AMNH has one of the biggest dinosaur halls and exhibits-and they're iconic for a reason! The nearly complete Stegosaurus skeleton nicknamed Apex (one of the most complete ever discovered) has been on display and continues to draw crowds with its massive plates and spikes.

A caper is always better with two. Batman and Robin, Jake and Finn, Thelma and Louise. Why do you think Shaggy and Scooby were always paired together when the gang split up? This is especially true in comedy, with duos ranging from Laurel and Hardy to Key and Peele taking their place in comedy history. Now, a major comedy duo is reviving a classic horror-comedy made by their Old Hollywood equivalents, right down to reusing the title.

At only 357 pieces, it's technically designed for ages 9 and up. But don't let the small size and kid-friendly assembly fool you; it's still packed with details. You can also build the car two ways: either as the DeLorean from the original movie or the flying version with sideways wheels. Either way, the vehicle has a time calculator, rear air vents-and, of course, the flux capacitor. Can't time travel without that.

Predator: Badlands is finally available to preorder in physical formats at major retailers, including Amazon and Walmart. Blu-ray preorders for most big-budget movies open alongside the theatrical premiere these days, but it took two months for physical versions of Badlands to surface. Fans of the iconic sci-fi series won't have to wait much longer to complete their collection. The new standalone Predator movie releases February 17 on 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray, and DVD.
