Two travelling dinosaur exhibitions -- revealing life-size dinosaur skeletons -- will make their Singapore debut on Friday at the Singapore Science Centre.

The highlight of the exhibition, titled "Titans of the Past - Dinosaurs and Ice Age Mammals", is the largest T-rex skull ever discovered by scientists and the first to ever leave the US.

Life-size skeleton casts of dinosaurs like the whopping 36-metre Argentinosaurus -- the heaviest and largest land animal ever to walk the earth -- should also be looked out for.

Animatronic dinosaurs flown from Japan will also make an appearance.

A range of land animals from the Ice Age are highlighted in an adjacent exhibition at the Science Centre.

There will also be hands-on workshops on dinosaur forensics for those who have always wondered what it is like to be a paleontologist.

The exhibition also features the latest knowledge in science about how dinosaurs lived and their behaviour, including the latest hypothesis of world-renowned paleontologist Dr Jack Horner and his research team.

They discovered that more than one-third of all dinosaur species classified from the Cretaceous Period may actually be juveniles, not different species as believed for the past century.

The exhibitions will end in February 2014.
