If your neighbourhood shudders and shakes next year, it's because dinosaurs have invaded Auckland. And you'd better watch out, because these beasts have evolved.
Walking With Dinosaurs is returning in March for three days at Vector Arena, and creators are promising to bring "spectacular and colourful changes" to the show that visited us in 2011.
That show delivered a trip back in time, as palaeontologist narrator "Huxley" introduced a wide variety of impressive dinosaurs that got up to mischief on Vector's main arena floor.
It's taken a team of 50 people a year to build the latest incarnation of Walking With Dinosaurs, featuring realistic, life-size versions of 10 species, including tyrannosaurus rex, plateosaurus, stegosaurus and allosaurus.
One of the show's biggest highlights is Brachiosaurus, which is 11m tall and 17m from nose to tail.
