Scots primary school kids have described how they would fight back in the event of an attack from a Tyrannosaurus rex.The children come face to face with the gigantic Jurassic predator in the first part of BBC Scotland's new four-part documentary series "One Night in the Museum", to be shown on Wednesday.Pupils, all aged nine and ten, are let loose after hours in the National Museum of Scotland (NMS) in Edinburgh and give their thoughts on the exhibits, watched remotely by the attraction's curators.Confronted by a cast of a 40ft long T rex skeleton, apparently ready to strike, they tell what they would do if attacked by the most ferocious creature that ever lived.Brave Caley says: "It's massive so I would run at it and then go to the side and keep running around its legs and then it's head would go round and round and get dizzy. Then I'd find the biggest thing I'd be able to pick up, and chuck it at them."She adds: "I wouldn't be able to really fight an adult or a kid dinosaur but I'd probably be able to fight a baby one."Dr Nick Fraser, curator Natural Sciences, says: "I'm not sure I would put that to the test. I think I'd just hide and stay still."
