Tyrannosaurus Rex (Tyrannosaurus rex) existed about 150-68 million years ago in western North America. Its massive body, sharp teeth, claws, and jaws made it fearsome because it produced the strongest bite among all animals. It was a carnivore and bipedal, with large powerful hind limbs and short, less powerful forelimbs. The skull was massive and the tail long and heavy. Evidence shows this large carnivore and land predator was also a scavenger and had a fast growth rate. Researchers also found that Tyrannosaurus had a larger brain, and, therefore, was more intelligent than other dinosaurs.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex had an overall length between 36’-40’ (11-12.2 m), upright standing height of 15.75’-17.7’ (4.8-5.4 m), body width of 5.25’-6.2’ (1.6-1.9 m), and weight from 12,600-15,400 lb (5,7000-7,000 kg). The typical lifespan of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was between 20-28 years.
