A few years ago, some paleontologists were digging for fossils in Glen Rose, Texas. The archaeologists left an excavator out overnight during a thunderstorm and BAM! It was struck by lightning! The lighting bolt was so powerful that it unleashed the spirits of the dinosaurs buried in Glen Rose. Because it was parked right on top of all of those dinosaur fossils, the lightning turned the excavator into a half digger and half dinosaur creature – a Digger Rex!
At first the excavator didn’t know what to do when he turned into Digger Rex. He still loved to dig, but he also wanted to learn more about his dinosaur ancestors. So he decided to do both! Now he travels all around the world, digging up fossils and making cool dinosaur discoveries!
