Dippy: The Tale of a Museum Icon A fascinating story behind one of the world's most famous dinosaur replicas. Dippy, an 85-foot-long Diplodocus replica, has been captivating visitors at the Natural History Museum in London since its unveiling in 1905. Its origins involve adventure and generosity, with the involvement of the British royal family. The replica is based on fossilized bones found in Wyoming, USA. This book tells the story of Dippy's creation and provides details on key dinosaur fossil finds and the latest research on Diplodocus anatomy and behaviour. It offers an engaging tale of discovery and a guide to one of the longest land animals ever to walk the Earth. With its unique blend of history, science and adventure, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in dinosaurs and natural history.
