If you've ever wondered what it would be like to go back in time and ride a dinosaur, then don't miss Macau's latest dinosaur exhibition.

The animatronics are the work of Japanese company Kokoro and it is the first time the exhibition has travelled to Macau.

Models include the largest carnivorous dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex, the giant plant-eating Apatosaurus, the horned Triceratops and the fast Velociraptor.

Each dinosaur is individually computer programmed and handcrafted. The outer skin is similar to human tissue and the models work using air compression.

Palaeontologists were involved in the construction process to ensure the dinosaurs are as life-like as possible.
