REX REDUX.
A 129-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus rex hot-air balloon sails across 16,363- acre Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta. Today T-rex startles and delights. Seventy-five million years ago tyrannosaurs terrified other animals that paused here along lush river deltas and swamps during migrations. Fossils of more than 35 different dinosaur species, about 10 percent of all those known, litter the park’s weathered sandstone badlands and have been collected for museums around the world since the 1880s.
