Meet 'Gus', the world's most expensive Tyrannosaurus rexCloseA 67 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex has been sold for £37.4m ($50.1m) at a Sotheby's auction in New York - the most ever paid for a dinosaur.
The fossil of this infamous predator stands more than 12 feet (4m) tall, and with over 60% of its bones recovered is one of "the most complete" specimens ever found, according to Sotheby's.
The winning bidder at the sale on Tuesday has not yet been disclosed.
Gus, as the T. rex has been affectionately named, was discovered in 2021 on a remote ranch in the US State of South Dakota.
