The Tyrannosaurus rex
was the biggest and most terrifying killing machine
to walk the earth. A T-rex could swallow more meat
in one mouthful then a family in 2 months. He was
called the "king of the tyrant lizards." These
huge, huge creatures were alive in the Late
Cretaceous Period.

Tyrannosaurus rex's
arms were too short to reach its mouth, and its
hands had only two fingers instead of three, making
it unable to grasp.

|
The T-rex had depth
perception since both eyes faced forward on the
front of its skull and not on its sides.

The Tyrannosaurus rex
had a stiff, pointed tail. The tail was used as a
counterbalance for its enormous head, for agility,
and for making quick turns.

It has vicious claws,
a strong head and neck, and powerful jaws that made
the T-rex an efficient killer. Researchers think
that the T-rex relied on surprise attacks to kill
its prey.
