Why is the world's biggest dinosaur visiting a cathedral?

If you're planning to visit Peterborough Cathedral in the next few weeks, you could be in for a roar-some surprise!

A life-size model of a titanosaur - the largest dinosaur ever to have walked the Earth - has been set up in the cathedral.

Called Patagotitan mayorum, it measures 37 metres in length and 6 metres tall.

The dino was first discovered in Argentina in 2010 and is the most complete giant dinosaur ever found, helping scientists learn more about how these enormous animals lived.

The full-scale cast of the titanosaur can usually be found at London's Natural History Museum, but it's now arrived at Peterborough's cathedral, on its first trip outside of the capital as part of a new exhibition.

Professor Paul Barrett, from the museum, explained that the titanosaur was a huge dinosaur and would have weighed around 60 tonnes.

He said: "To house a gigantic dinosaur requires a gigantic house, so Peterborough's great cathedral is the perfect home."

Professor Barrett added that there was also another connection linking the dino to the local area.

He explained: "Some early relatives of these animals were found locally in some of the brick pits around Peterborough.

"So in some respects there's a nice local cousin for it that it could have met."

The dinosaur will be on display at Peterborough Cathedral until the end of May.
