The Dinosaur T-Rex was one of the greatest predators that ever lived.
Tyrannosaurus Rex had powerful back legs that let it hunt prey over short distances at up to 20mph (32 kph). They would have charged out of the undergrowth to surprise their prey - and their flexible neck helped them adjust the angle of attack
They lived about 65 to 70 million years ago - in the late cretaceous period.
Tyrannosaurus Rex means 'Tyrant Lizard'.
T. Rex were one of the biggest meat eaters.
The largest T. Rex tooth found is 12 inches (30 cm) long.
They could sprint up to 20 mph (32 kph).
Their length was up to 12 metres (40 feet).
The T. Rex had quite a large brain for a dinosaur. This would have helped it hunt better! Large parts of its brain helped its vision and smell - it may have even had telescopic vision. Even more terrifying was its mouth full of 8 inch (20cm) teeth - long and sharp, like knives.
Tyrannosaurus Rex were 12 metres (40 feet) in length and weighed 5 tons. Their heads were over 4 feet (1.25 metres), with very powerful jaws.
