Dinosaurs invade central Arkansas (UALR Public Radio) - Based on the Emmy award-winning BBC Television show, "Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experience" comes to Alltel Arena for eight shows this week.

The 150-person, $20-million show travels with 26-semi trucks full of dinosaurs, scenery and electronics. The show features 9 huge robotic dinosaurs operated by teams of three puppeteers each. Smaller dinosaurs are performed by a single actor/puppeteer in a rubber suit. One of those smaller critters, a baby T-Rex, performed in the Rivermarket Pavilion Tuesday morning to promote the show.
