One smart kid
From UK MetroBoy, 10, outsmarts [London] Natural History Museum by spotting incorrect dinosaur label
Dinosaur fan Charlie Edwards noticed the outline of the four-legged Protoceratops was labelled as an Oviraptor - a dinosaur with a beak that walked on its hind legs.
Although his parents doubted the museum had made a mistake, Charlie insisted the picture, which was used to illustrate the height of the dinosaur compared to a human, showed a different species.
Palaeontologists said they were impressed with Charlie’s knowledge and the museum said it would correct the sign.
