Jaw-Dropping Discovery: World's Largest Dinosaur Skull Unveiled as Torosaur Named Adam Goes on Display
The world's largest dinosaur skull ever discovered is set to go on display at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. The skull belongs to a torosaur named Adam and was found in the Badlands of Montana in 2015. Adam's skull measures 2.7 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, making it one of the largest dinosaur skulls ever found. The torosaur was a herbivorous dinosaur that lived about 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. The skull was excavated and prepared for display by the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, where it has been on loan since 2017. The torosaur skull will now be permanently housed at the Canadian Museum of Nature, where it will be the centerpiece of the museum's new dinosaur gallery opening in 2024. The torosaur was a relatively unknown dinosaur until the discovery of Adam's skull, which is shedding new light on the species. Scientists believe that the torosaur had a unique skull shape that allowed it to eat tough, fibrous plants that other herbivorous dinosaurs couldn't digest. The discovery of Adam's skull is a significant contribution to the world of paleontology and provides valuable insights into the evolution and behavior of dinosaurs. Visitors to the Canadian Museum of Nature will now have the opportunity to marvel at this incredible piece of history and learn more about the fascinating world of dinosaurs.
