Meet Mambo the Tyrannosaurus rex. Standing at 10 feet tall, Mambo is the biggest dinosaur at Jurassic Jungle Live, an interactive and educational dinosaur show that shows off the most ferocious and tremendous creatures to roam the earth.

Coming to Crocker Park Aug. 27-29, the 45- to 60-minute production features realistic walking, interactive dinosaurs full of personality. Different dinosaurs accompany a different lesson — for example, when learning about the Spinosaurus’ spine, a Spinosaurus emerges as a tangible example of the lesson.

No matter what other dinosaurs show up, however, Mambo is still the star of the show. “We want to help teach about natural history and inspire that creativity, but also teach about conservation of animals,” says Branden Schossler, president of Jurassic Jungle Inc. 239 Market St., Westlake, 440-835-9343, crockerpark.com/jurassicjungle
