Someone has walked off with a robotic baby Plateosaurus
GUADALAJARA, Mexico—Organizers of the Mexican tour of the “Walking With Dinosaurs” show say someone has walked off with a robotic baby Plateosaurus.
Spokeswoman Karla Arrollo says the 1.5-meter (5-foot), remote-controlled dinosaur worth $25,000 disappeared after Friday’s performance. Police say they are investigating the alleged theft.
Arrollo says the show—which features 10 species of large, mechanized dinosaurs lumbering across an arena stage—will continue touring.
But organizers had to redesign the first scene, which originally involved a larger dinosaur devouring the baby.
She says organizers have also requested increased security to protect the prehistoric performers when the show opens in Mexico City on Wednesday.
