15. Topic: The Tyrannosaurus Rex
Date: 2014, October 7
The
Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as T-Rex, was one of the largest land predators
to have ever lived. The T-rex could grow to 40 feet in length (a little longer
than a school bus) and could stand 13 feet tall at the hips (about three feet
taller than a basketball hoop). It lived in what is now western North America
and may have even been partly covered in feathers.
The
Tyrannosaurus Rex was a fearsome predator with strong jaws and up to 60 teeth.
Some of these teeth could grow to be almost a foot long. The T-Rex was a strict
carnivore (meat-eater) and hunted other dinosaurs. Scientists aren’t sure how
fast the T-Rex could run, or, even if it could run at all.
In
1990, a fossil hunter found the most complete skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex
ever found! It was sold to a museum for $8 million dollars, the highest amount
ever paid for dinosaur fossils.
