Allow me to introduce you to Tinker, possibly Abu Dhabi’s largest inhabitant and definitely its oldest. Tinker is the skeleton of a female juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex who is currently hanging out in Etihad Modern Art Gallery.
At 7.5 metres long, she fills the main gallery space downstairs nose-to-tail and she is approximately 65 million years old. What is interesting is that Tinker is the only one of her kind in the world - by that I mean she is the only juvenile T-Rex skeleton ever found.
Besides this, Tinker is also one of the most complete skeletons. Over 50% of the bones are represented and the bone quality is excellent.
Having her here in Abu Dhabi is an important indicator as to how many key cultural players we have in our capital. Tinker is sponsored by the Atlas Group and the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority and is part of an ongoing partnership between the gallery and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which is where Tinker used to call home.
* To visit Tinker at Etihad Modern Art Gallery, opening hours are from 10am-10pm Saturday-Thursday. For more information visit the website.

Mia Man’s tips for fermentation
- Start with a simple recipe such as yogurt or sauerkraut
- Keep your hands and kitchen tools clean. Sanitize knives, cutting boards, tongs and storage jars with boiling water before you start.
- Mold is bad: the colour pink is a sign of mold. If yogurt turns pink as it ferments, you need to discard it and start again. For kraut, if you remove the top leaves and see any sign of mold, you should discard the batch.
- Always use clean, closed, airtight lids and containers such as mason jars when fermenting yogurt and kraut. Keep the lid closed to prevent insects and contaminants from getting in.
