On Friday, it was revealed that the T. Rex was formally "found" and named Scotty.  He was aptly named after the palaeontologists open a bottle of scotch in his honour.

Well, if you want to, you can actually visit Scotty, the T. Rex if you travel to the T. Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Saskatchewan. Although they are closed now, they'll be reopening this spring. 

On May 18, 2019, the Discovery Centre will reopen. Admission is by donation, so feel free to donate some cash in order to see the world's oldest and biggest T. Rex ever found on Earth! They're located at #1 T-rex Drive, PO Box 460, Eastend, Saskatchewan.
