“Tyrannosaurus Race” was Held in Tottori Prefecture

“Tyrannosaurus Race Daisen 2023” was held in Daisen Town, Tottori Prefecture this April. Over 200 “tyrannosaurs” from all over Japan competed to see how fast they could run. When asked why people come to the event, KAWAMOTO Naoki from the Japan Tyrannosaurus Preservation Society answered: “I think a lot of people want to be Tyrannosaurus. Also, people might be tired. They might be thinking that they can’t take humans anymore.” The event was originally born in the United States. Since 2022, it has been held in various locations in Japan.
