Tyrannosaurus
Hello, I’m Tyrannosaurus King
(tr·a·nuh·saw·ruhs)
Roarrrrr I’m Tyrannosaurus King! I’m somewhat of a celebrity in the dinosaur world. I’m kind of like the lion who is called the “king of the jungle”. I’m the “king of the dinosaurs”. In fact, Tyrannosaurus means “Tyrant lizard king”, that’s because I’m one of the largest and most dangerous dinosaurs! But don’t worry, I’m just visiting The Island to have fun. I lived during the Cretaceous Period. Roughly 66 million years ago, I roamed the United States, Canada, and East Asia. Over 20 sets of nearly complete T-Rex fossils have been found.
FUN FACTS
40 feet long - From head to tail, I’m as long as a shipping container.
16 Feet tall - I’m the same size as a giraffe. Do you think a giraffe would like to meet me?
6 tons - We might be the same size as an African bush elephant, but we can run much faster.
What Did I Eat? Being the king of dinosaurs, you may already know I’m a carnivore. I eat meat and lots of it. I never let a good meal go to waste, sometimes I ate the bones too! I like to see it as “cleaning my plate.”
Did You Know?
Scientists believe female T-Rex dinosaurs outweighed the males by a few thousand pounds. The largest T-Rex specimen known as “Sue” was discovered in South Dakota in 1990 and measured 42 feet long.
