THE TYRANT LIZARD KING

Amazing facts

AL-ARIF

The T. Rex had quite a large brain for a dinosaur. This would have helped it hunt better! Large parts of its brain helped its vision and smell - it may have even had telescopic vision.

Even more terrifying was its mouth full of 8 inch (20cm) teeth - long and sharp, like knives.

-Diet-

T. rex was a meat-eater and was at the top of the food chain in its environment. It probably chased its prey and took huge bites of their flesh, mortally wounded the prey, then devoured it. Its huge jaws and powerful, clawed legs were its lethal weapons. T. rex's tiny arms may not have played much of a part in the kill

A coprolite (fossilized feces) from a T. rex was recently found in Saskatchewan, Canada by a team led by Karen Chin. This 65 million year old specimen contains chunks of bones from an herbivorous (plant-eating) dinosaur which was eaten by the T. rex. This bone fragment is perhaps part of the head frill of a Triceratops, a three-horned plant eater.

The coprolite (fossilized dung) is a whitish-green rock that is 17 inches (44 cm) long, 6 inches (15 cm) high and 5 inches (13 cm) wide. Since it contains bones, it is from a theropod (the meat-eating dinosaurs). The coprolite is assumed to be from T. rex because of its huge size (this is the largest coprolite ever found from a meat-eater). T. rex is the only meat-eating dinosaur from that time and place which could have produced such large dung. This fossil privdes evidence that T. rex crushed bones before swallowing them, since the bones in this coprolite were broken up.

MORE INTERESTING FACTS!!!!!

Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs that ever existed. Everything about this ferocious predator, from its thick, heavy skull to its 1.2-meter-long jaw, was designed for ultimate bone-crushing action.

The largest and most complete T. rex skeleton found was nicknamed Sue, after its discoverer, paleontologist Sue Hendrickson. Measurements suggest T. rex was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to ever live, coming in at up to 14 meters tall at the hips and 12.3 meters long.

T. rex had strong thighs and a powerful tail, which counterbalanced its large head and allowed it to move quickly. Its muscle distribution and center of mass suggest that the giant could run 10 to 25 mph.

According to the most recent studies, they are estimated to have weighed between 8.4 metric tons to 14 metric tons.
