UCalgary anniversary celebration breaks world record for number of people dressed as dinosaurs

The University of Calgary recently broke the Guinness World Record for the largest number of people dressed as dinosaurs. For UCalgary’s 60th anniversary celebrations, the university invited community members to attend campus wearing dinosaur costumes. Scrutineers completed an official count and found that 682 people in dinosaur suits gathered at the event. UCalgary President Ed McCauley dressed as a dinosaur for the event, and the Dinos’s mascot Rex was in attendance. “The old record is extinct,” said UCalgary President Ed McCauley. The university will display the plaque prominently so the whole community can see it.
