Meet Hunter Capella – the 7-year-old dinosaur expert.

Capella was named “Kid Science Advisor” at Liberty Science Center, helping out with the new exhibit, Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Capella first met Sue when she was on display at the museum four years ago. He has spent the time since as Sue’s most devoted fan. He travels around the country and has visited her exhibits more than 60 times.

And although they are 67 million years apart, the pair will get the chance to spend the next few months together before Sue’s exhibit moves on in May.
