(CHICAGO) - The Field Musuem in Chicago already is host to the world's best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex, but now a new dinosaur exhibit has arrived.  

The "Spinosaurus," is a fish-eating dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous Period. It now is displayed overhead at the Field Museum.  

The Spinosaurus used its crocodile-shaped body and paddle-like tail to swim through rivers in modern-day North Africa, hunting and swimming through waters as a semi-aquatic predator. 

The exhibition mounts Spinosaurus in a swimming pose and is the only skeleton on display outside of Asia. 

The Field Museum is open everyday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with abbreviated hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the NASCAR Chicago Street Race on July 1-2. 

Spinosaurus is included in the price of basic admission, and more information on the museum and tickets can be found:  here.
