When we arrived at the Natural History Museum there was a stegosaurus skeleton at the entrance we entered. There was the Bird part where you can see the size of the wings & talons of birds.
After that there is a whole wall covered with skeletons of Ichthyosaurs (Fish-Lizard). The Ichthyosaur is a Dolphin like creature, it has the snout of a dolphin & has Huge eyes. There is also the plesiosaur found by (Mary Anning) the plesiosaur is from (plesiosauria) any group of long-necked marine reptiles found as fossils of the late Triassic period into the late cretaceous period. Then there are the prehistoric marine Jurassic crocodiles of the crocodilia group.
Then there is the dinosaur part where there are many dinosaurs, like the baryonyx a dinosaur of Britain from the (spinosauridae) group; it has huge long arms & claws for eating fish. Also I saw the tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, the Tyrannosaurus rex or T-rex for short is the most popular dinosaur. It has two medium sized arms with two fingers, big hind legs, sharp teeth and has jaws strong enough to break bones. There was an animatronic T-rex which was super realistic & there is the T-rex Restaurant where I had a pepperoni pizza for lunch.
In the mammal zone there is a machine that puts your weight compared to a polar bear, an Arabian camel, an elephant, etc. Also you can find whale skeletons & statues. There is a speed comparator of whales & dolphins. The dolphin is faster than the blue whale and the orca is even faster but the fastest one is the sei whale. I didn't enter the creepy crawlies part. In the Darwin centre you can find a replica of the dodo & the prehistoric penguin discovered by Darwin.
If you enter the earth part you will find lots of gems & bright ores and at the end there was a shop with plushies of modern animals, prehistoric animals & dinosaurs. If you come, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
