SUE the T. Rex has finally moved into\u00a0a new home at the Field Museum, and we’re all invited to the housewarming party.<\/p>\n

Our favorite dino was deserving of some new digs when M\u00e1ximo<\/a>\u00a0took their place at the Field Museum earlier this year.\u00a0SUE was temporarily off display to make way for\u00a0their new permanent suite in The Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet<\/em> exhibit, where you can now get a close-up look as soon as today!<\/p>\n

SUE the T. Rex<\/a> is the most complete and\u00a0best-preserved dinosaur humans have ever uncovered and is named after\u00a0their discoverer Sue Hendrickson. It took over 10 months for experts to disassemble and\u00a0remount all of\u00a0the bones, and you may notice a few\u00a0key differences when you see them again. SUE\u00a0is much more barrel-chested as they now feature\u00a0rib-like gastralia bones and, since their arms are even closer together, SUE\u00a0can (theoretically) clap.<\/p>\n

Entrance to SUE’s exhibit at the Field Museum is included with the price of basic admission<\/a>, a Discovery Pass<\/a>, or an All-Access Pass<\/a>. Buying tickets<\/a> online during the holiday season is a smart move since entry is not guaranteed during especially busy days. The museum recommends arriving as early as 9 am when they open to ensure your entry, but make sure to note that the Field Museum is closed on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

Since SUE’s new lair is bound to be a hotspot for the next few weeks, your museum ticket will designate a time slot when you can see the giant tyrannosaur, so it’s best if you arrive to Evolving Planet<\/em> at least 30 minutes prior. You’ll know the entrance to SUE’s\u00a0home when you see a looming T. Rex shadow outside the exhibit.<\/p>\n

And, if you’re wondering why I am not referring to\u00a0SUE as she\/her, it turns out the dino actually prefers the pronouns they\/them, as per this press release<\/a> by the Field Museum, because “scientific opinion on determining the sex of tyrannosaurs has lacked sufficient data” since they were first\u00a0discovered in 1990.<\/p>\n

Are you excited to see\u00a0SUE back at the Field Museum? Follow the dino on Twitter<\/a> for regular (and hilarious) updates and don’t forget to tag\u00a0#SUEOnTheMove in your Tweets and Instagram posts!<\/p>\n
