Dinosaurs and Periods

Tyranosaurus Rex

TYRANOSAURUS REX (ty-RAN-o-sawr-us) "Tyrant Lizard" (Greek tyrannos = tyrant + sauros = lizard, because of its great size and wicked TEETH and CLAWS)

The last and largest known CARNOSAUR. This huge meat eater measured up to 50 feet (15 m) from the tip of its enormous jaws to the end of its TAIL. It was 18.5 feet (5.6 m) tall and weighed 6 tons (5.4 metric tons). It ran with its massive tail extended to balance its 4 foot (1.2 m) head. Its monstrous 3 foot (90 cm) jaws were lined with 60 dagger-like teeth that were 3 to 6 inches (8 to 15 cm) long. Tyrannosaurus had long, strong hind legs, and its huge FEET were equipped with 8 inch (20 cm)talons. However, its arms were very short, only about 30 inches (76 cm) long they were so short that Tyranosaurus could not even scratch its chin! But the HANDS, like the feet, were armed with long, strong claws.Read More Visit Tripod
