The life-size copper Tyrannosaurus Rex statue that stands guard outside the University of Wyoming Geological Museum celebrated its 50th birthday on April 11, 2014. The museum hosted two cake parties in celebration for the beloved statue. Wyoming Public Radio’s Anna Rader and Micah Schweizer visited the T. Rex and heard from passers-by and well-wishers.
