Dubai Dino
Discovered in Wyoming, USA in 2008, this primeval skeleton spectacle was displayed originally at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. But, thanks to the efforts of Khalid Seddiq, the founder of Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Modern Art Gallery, this attraction was sourced to the city of Dubai. In March 2014, this elephantine prehistoric memento was unveiled to the public at the Mall’s Grand Atrium, with the help of a team of expert paleontologists. So basically, this dinosaur was bought and shipped to Dubai.Despite its immense popularity, the fossil remained nameless, until Johara Albayedh, a Saudi national, gave a fitting name to it in June 2014. Beating more than 7,000 competition hopefuls, Albayedh won the naming contest for this dinosaur, aptly naming it as Dubai Dino.
