Tyrannosaurus Rex
The Tyrannosaurus Rex, or T. rex, was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs. Known as the "Lizard King," this fearsome creature roamed North America about 68 to 66 million years ago. 🦖
Standing up to 12 feet tall and stretching 40 feet long, the T. rex was a formidable predator. It had a massive skull equipped with powerful jaws and sharp teeth capable of crushing bone with ease. Despite its tiny arms, the T. rex was a dominant force in its ecosystem.
