In the Natural History Museum (London), there is now the most complete Stegosaurus skeleton ever found. It is 90% complete, and has been on display since 4 December 2014. Here is a picture.
90% of that skeleton is bone, and it has been nicknamed Sophie. It was a young adult when it died so it isn't fully grown, but close enough. Now that were done with the Stegosaurus, lets get on to the problem with the museum at the minute.
They are going to get rid of Dippy!
In case you don't know, Dippy is the name for a fiberglass skeleton of a Diplodocus that stands in the Hintz hall (It used to be called the central hall, except a guy with the last name Hintz donated £5,000,000 to the museum), here are some pictures of Dippy.
This is what they want to replace it with.
Dippy has been there for 36 years, and now the want to replace it with a Blue Whale skeleton. This won't happen until 2017, so Dippy will be there for a while, but luckily there is a lot of public backlash from the plan to get rid of it. Here are some links.
