Auckland Museum's resident Tyrannosaurus rex, Peter, is getting a new friend.

Her name's Barbara - she's one of only three pregnant female T-rex skeletons discovered, standing 11.7 metres in length and 3.4 metres high.

Auckland Museum is currently the only place in the world to exhibit an adult male and female T-Rex together.

Auckland Museum's chief executive Dr David Gaimster spoke to Corin Dann.
