T. Rex

T. rex, or Tyrannosaurus rex, was a large carnivorous dinosaur that lived about 68 to 66 million years ago. It measured up to 40 feet long, weighed around 9 tons, and had powerful jaws with sharp teeth capable of crushing bone. Its short arms had only two fingers, but its large legs and muscular tail enabled it to run quickly and hunt effectively. As an apex predator, T. rex likely preyed on large herbivorous dinosaurs. Its fossils have provided valuable insights into prehistoric ecosystems and dinosaur evolution.
