Did you know that The Rock, Dywane Johnson paid $31 million on a replica of Stan, the T-rex? And did you know that the real skeleton suddenly disappeared after it was bought for $31.8 million in 2020? Palaeontologists were worried it was purchased by a private owner who could deny them access to continuing their research on the fossil.

Luckily, National Geographic came through with an amazing announcement regarding that exact skeleton of Stan.
