Tyrannosaurus / Back to Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park / The Lost World / Jurassic Park III
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Meaning : Tyrant Lizard
Diet : carnivore
Length : 13m (40feet)
Height : 5m (16feet)
Weight : 6 000  kilos
Found in : N-America		 Probably the most famous of all dinosaurs, T. rex was probably the fiercest meat eater that ever lived. At more than 40 in length, it was huge and had the most powerful head of any dinosaur. It also had the biggest teeth of any dinosaur - teeth that were not only sharp and cutting edged, but also thick and strong, capable of crushing bones.

T. rex is very well known, with more than 30 individual specimens having been found. Less than half of these had any significant amount of the fossil, but it still gives us a very good picture of these creatures. The most famous of the fossils of this creature is "Sue" which is now on display at the Field Museum in Chicago. Sue is about 42 feet long; her largest tooth is almost 12 inches. 

It has recently been debated as to whether T. rex was strictly a hunter or strictly a scavenger.
