Barnum Brown's parents named him after circus icon P.T. Barnum, hoping that he would do something extraordinary--and he did. As a paleontologist for the American Museum of Natural History, he discovered the first documented skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as most of the other dinosaurs on display there today.
