A DINOSAUR is on the loose across Wirral to promote Movember this month.
Wirral based Teach Rex has unleashed Jam the T-Rex for a 60km walking challenge throughout November in a bid to raise cash and awareness for the Movember movement.
Created by local primary school teachers Sam and Joe, Teach Rex hold shows across the UK, educating youngsters about the 'most amazing' creatures that have ever-roamed our planet.
Having already visited the likes of Prenton Park, West Kirby Marine Lake, Royal Liverpool Golf Club and Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Jam is able to meet with families as he takes on his Movember quest across the North West.

On November 30 from 11am, Teach Rex will be celebrating at West Kirby Marine Lake and are inviting families to come along to walk with the dinosaur.
Teach Rex co-founder Joe said: “We want to create as much awareness for 'Movember' as possible, so as well as growing some questionable moustaches we will also be joining the 'Move for Movember' movement and stomping 60 kilometres in 30 days with our dinosaur friend.
"Jam the T-Rex weighs 30kg and will be marching every kilometre of this journey with us."

Having already featured on Sky Sports News, Teach Rex is hoping to help make a difference to men's health by joining forces with Movember to raise awareness of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
As part of Movember, men are encouraged to grow a mustache to show their support.
There are many challenges to take part in too, they can be found here: https://uk.movember.com/get-involved/network-challenges
Teach Rex also revealed earlier this month that they would be hosting a festive-themed dino-show on December 23 at Thornton Hall Hotel this Christmas.
This Christmas special will see three life-like dinosaur puppets take part in a 45 minute show complete with effects and music.
Once the educational part is over, the event is followed by a 'Dino Disco' and a dinosaur meet and greet.
