It is the closest we may ever get to being face to face with a T. rex.
The American Museum of Natural History has unveiled a new exhibition showing the giant through its life with a series of models it boasts are 'the most accurate ever created'.
They range from a fluffy hatchling to a gigantic 43-foot-long model of the full grown killer - complete with feathers and 'useless' arms.

The T. rex grew astonishingly quickly.
T. rex reached full size by its early 20s—about as fast as a human does—but it put on much more weight in that time, gaining up to 140 pounds (65 kg) per month.
It transforms from a vulnerable hatchling with a more than 60 percent chance of succumbing to predators, accidents, disease, and failure to find food in its first year of life, to a gargantuan predator at the top of the food chain.
The museum created the models as part of T. rex: The Ultimate Predator, a major new exhibition opening to the public on Friday, and the first exhibit of the museum's 150th anniversary celebration.
The first T. rex skeleton was discovered in 1902 by the Museum's legendary paleontologist and fossil hunter, Barnum Brown, and the Museum boasts one of the few original specimens of T. rex on public display.
'Dinosaurs, and Tyrannosaurus rex in particular, are such an important and iconic part of the Museum and have been throughout our history,' said Ellen V. Futter, President of the American Museum of Natural History.
'So it seems fitting to launch the Museum's 150th Anniversary celebrations with a major new exhibition on the ever-intriguing King of Dinosaurs.'
The life-sized models are believed to be the most scientifically accurate representation of T. rex to date, and the Museum's model-makers worked with experts around the world to create them.
They include the latest scientific theories on the megakillers.
For instance, the massive life-sized model of a T. rex has patches of feathers, and arms that are far smaller than other models.

'We hope people will find out a lot they didn't know - like how it began life as an adorable hatchling, yet could gain upto 140lbs in a single month, it had feathers for warmth and camouflage, and its teeth are able to bite through bone.
'That said, mysteries remain - we don't know what color it was, or what it sounds like.'
Mark Norell, the curator of the new exhibition, said 'This is the most accurate representation of T.rex ever. We took a long hard look at a lot of areas and incorporated all the new knowledge, and
