Big Bert, an ancient crocodile skeleton discovered in 1991 along the banks of Carrot River in the Pasquia Hills, has taken up residence at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford.
Bert, on loan from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, will remain on display through April 30, 2017. This fossil is the world's most complete Terminonaris robusta crocodile skeleton measuring approximately 5.6 metres long.
Its skull alone is more than 1 metre long. Big Bert is brought back to life through 3D imaging that allows visitors to spin the bones around in any direction and to also flesh out the animal for an indepth and interactive study of the cast.
