Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex, the oldest apex predator ever unearthed and sold at auction, is very much enjoying Red Dead Redemption 2. So much so that it’s taken them away from an ongoing game of Dungeons & Dragons. The remarkably complete collection of 65-million-year-old fossilized remains appears to be smitten with the cowboy life, and has recently taken up virtual paleontology.

That’s right. Formerly a 14-ton carnivore, Sue and their permineralized parts are now ambling around in Rockstar Games’ version of the American West on a quest to discover dinosaur bones.
