Living during the Cretaceous period (68-66 Mya) in the forested river valleys of today’s western North America, Tyrannosaurus is a carnivore popularly known for its large 5’ | 1.5 m skull, ferocious serrated teeth, small useless arms, strong tail, and powerful bipedal legs.

Tyrannosaurus Rex was 40’ (12.3 m) in length, with a height of 17’ (5.2 m), width of 6' (1.8 m), and hip height of 12’-13’ (3.7-4 m). Tyrannosaurus Rex weighed roughly 18,500-30,800 lb (8.4-14 metric tons).

Reptiles shed their skin so that they can continue to grow. When they shed, reptiles grow a new layer of skin underneath their old skin and then shed their old one. When they shed their skin reptiles also get rid of any parasites during the process. The process of shedding is referred to as sloughing.

The factors that cause animals to go extinct are mainly the loss and degradation of habitat which is mainly due to deforestation. Other causes for animals going extinct are exploitation through hunting and overfishing, invasive species, and climate change. Plastic pollution and emerging diseases are also factors that play a role in the extinction of animals.

Can extinct animals be brought back?

Extinct animals have not successfully been brought back as of today. Scientists need to sequence its genome and then edit the DNA of a close living relative to match it. Afterwards, they would need to make embryos with the revised genome and have a surrogate mother carry them.

Which animals have gone extinct because of climate change?

Animals that have gone extinct because of climate change include the golden toad and the north Atlantic cod is threatened. The staghorn coral and orange-spotted filefish have also had their population numbers affected by the effects of climate change. It is up to humans to make the necessary changes and help endangered animal species.
