Description: Tyrannosaurus rex, commonly known as T. rex, has lumbered, roared, and chomped its way deeply into world culture. It's no wonder, when this gigantic and fearsome dinosaur outweighed a modern elephant and had up to 60 teeth, some as big as bananas. Its jaws could reach 3 feet in length. T. rex was the largest land predator known to date, although bigger monsters swam in prehistoric oceans. One web page simply lists T. rex's menu as "other dinosaurs." Its bite force is estimated to have been three times that of a great white shark's and 15 times the force of an African lion's jaws. A similar-looking meat-eating dinosaur, Allosaurus, had only one-seventh T. rex's strength in its bite! Two T. rex Fighting Appropriately, the first T. rex fossils were unearthed in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. It was found by Barnum Brown in 1902. T. rex roamed what is now Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, and Montana in the US, and ranged as far north as Alberta, Canada. Tyrannosaurus has also been found in Asia. More than 30 Tyrannosaurus fossil remains have allowed paleontologists to learn quite a lot about this iconic animal. Even so, there have been many heated discussions. Scientists argue about whether T. rex could have carried its weight at a fast enough pace to outrun an athletic human, or whether it was essentially a walking dinosaur. Another of the debates about T. rex is whether it was a scavenger or a predator. Most scientists seem to agree now that it was both. T. rex is now known to have stood and walked with its neck and tail almost parallel to the ground rather than in the upright position first imagined. T. rex may have had feathers covering part of its body. As of 2013, it is not known for sure whether T. rex was warm-blooded. T. rex's arms were about 3 feet long. That may seem like a good-sized arm until you compare it with the rest of the tyrannosaur. The arms actually appear tiny next to the rest of its gigantic body. Although T. rex's arms were about three times as powerful as those of an adult human, they at first appear to be of little use to the dinosaur. However, if T. rex were to fall over or be pushed over by another dinosaur, these little arms could actually help it regain its footing. Scientists postulate that the male dinosaur could grip the female with its arms during mating. The third use of the arms is probably the one you suspected: T. rex could hold its prey and even tear at it while ripping into the flesh with its tremendous jaws. T. rex lived in the late Cretaceous Period, approximately 70 to 65 million years ago at a time when the climate was becoming cooler and more seasonal. New types of plants and animals developed during the Cretaceous until an amazing collection of dinosaurs roamed the earth just before the dinosaurs' extinction about 65 million years ago. Although T. rex would not have noticed the drifting of the continents on which it lived, they continued to separate during the late Cretaceous, and North and South America moved farther away from Africa and Europe. T. rex could be found in dry, rocky, mountains among ancient conifers as well as on marshy shores where modern sharks were already swimming in the ocean along with long-necked plesiosaurs.
