Jurassic Parking -- Dinosaurs Shipped And Delivered To Chester Zoo In England (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS: Jurassic Parking -- Dinosaurs Shipped And Delivered In England

Forget all that science fiction mumbo jumbo about cloning and mosquitos stuck in amber. When dinosaurs arrive, they come hauled inside a few trailers.

At least that's the case at the Chester Zoo in England, where workers unloaded more than a dozen animatronic dinosaurs for the upcoming "Dinosaurs at Large" exhibit.

The zoo received the enormous dinos -- which include a Tyrannosaurus Rex, an Apatosaurusis, a Rugops as well as ten others -- in a shipment from the United States on June 15.

In preparation for the exhibit, which runs from July 1 to Oct. 8, the Chester Zoo is planned to hire a "Dinosaur Keeper" who would be responsible for maintaining the high-tech attraction.

"This is the first time any company or institution has advertised for a Dinosaur Keeper and so it's fair to say it's a job that has been 65 million years in the making," said Alasdair McNee, the zoo's corporate director.

"It's certainly not an ordinary role but it's a serious, specialist position and we're prepared to search far and wide to find the right people."
