 TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - Are you brave enough to share an evening in the forest with a bunch of life-size dinosaurs with 6-inch teeth? How about spending time with a walking, growling 45-foot tall, 75-foot long Brachiosaurus that seems to be looking around for its next meal — perhaps among the spectators at "Walking With Dinosaurs," which opens its North American tour on July 11 in Tacoma.
Lucky for us, the Brachiosaurus only eats plants — it was a vegetarian when it lived about 150 million years ago. The Brachiosaurus visiting Tacoma this week isn't alive, but is a lifelike puppet and one of the stars in the touring show.
The show, based on the award-winning BBC Television series, is supposed to be educational and fun. The story, which travels 200 million years from Triassic to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, features 15 life-size dinosaurs from 10 species, including a mother Tyrannosaurus Rex and her baby.
