Animal Crossing: New Horizons - fossils can come to life

The dead dinosaur bones can primarily be donated to the museum or used as decoration. But a player has discovered another feature . She has shared a video on Twitter, in which she brings the fossils to life - at least a little (via GamePro). It works by simply interacting with the fossils . Then the bones move: the mouth opens and closes and a squeaking sound is heard.

For the feature to be activated, the fossils must not be donated to Eugens Museum *, instead they must be placed somewhere on the island as a decoration . In addition, not all dinosaur bones have the function. The whole thing works with the fossils of the Pachysaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops and the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The triceratops and trex skull move if you interact with them. I haven't found other skulls that do this though. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH pic.twitter.com/UwiXxrz5Bf
