Anyone on Memorial Drive near the Calgary Zoo on Sunday got an eye-full!
A crane was lifting some animatronic dinosaurs into their new digs at the zoo’s Prehistoric Park, which required a small section of Memorial cordoned off for the morning.
Spokesperson Trish Exton-Parder tells 660News, if you saw the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit back in 2010, you’ll know the creatures move and make noises but she says, these ones are even more advanced.
“We’ve got dinosaurs that are basically on sensors, you walk by and they growl, they move.  Kids have opportunities with some of these dinosaurs to make them move the way they want to.  It’s a very cool exhibit,†says Exton-Parder.
She says, with all the work being done on the Prehistoric Park, they needed to get the new residents in before the snow flies.
The exhibit will open in March.
