DINOSAURS will be seen at Chester Zoo this summer in what promises to be one of the most exciting and ground-breaking exhibits seen in a UK zoo.

The new exhibition, featuring 13 mechanical structures, will open in July.

Featuring movements and sounds, the dinosaurs will include the giant apatosaurus, with its long neck and whip-like tail, the evil-looking dilophosaurus, with its long, sharp claws and the infamous tyrannosaurus rex, the most feared land predator of all time.

The animated models will be part of an outdoor trail called Dinosaurs at Large! and will show visitors what it would have been like to get close to such huge beasts.

The event, which also aims to spread the message that once a creature is gone, it is gone forever, will run from July 1-October 8 and will be open every day from 10am-6pm.

Dinosaurs at Large! will be open to all visitors to Chester Zoo, with entry included in zoo admission charges.
