Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the most ferocious predators to ever walk the Earth.Tyrannosaurus rex, whose name means “king of the tyrant lizards,” was built to rule. T-Rex, is one of the most well-represented of the large theropods.Tyrannosaurus rex was the biggest known carnivorous dinosaur. They lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia.
Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long,heavy tail.With a massive body, sharp teeth, and jaws so powerful they could crush a car.This dinosaur used its 60 serrated teeth, each about eight inches long.They could only walk briskly at up to 12 miles an hour.
They might have been killed by a disease that afflicts birds even today.rex went extinct during the K-T mass extinction, about 65 million years ago. This extinction killed the remaining dinosaurs (not just T. rex) and many other animal and plant groups. This extinction was probably caused by a catastrophic asteroid colliding with Earth.
