Tyrannosaurs Rex was a huge meat-eating dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 85 million years ago. T. rex lived in a semi-tropical environment, in forests with nearby rivers and in costal forested swamps.
T-rex was a fierce predator that walked on two powerful legs. This meat-eater had a huge head with large, pointed, replaceable teeth and well-developed jaw muscles. It had tiny arms, each with two fingers. Each bird-like foot had three large toes, all equipped with claws. T-rex had a slim, stiff, pointed tail that provided balance and allowed quick turns while running. T-rex's neck was short and muscular. Its body was solidly built but its bones were hollow.
Tyrannosaurus rex was up to 40 feet long, about 15 to 20 feet tall. The arms were only about 3 feet long. Tyrannosaurus rex was roughly 5 to 7 tons in weight. The enormous skull was about 5 feet long. The eye sockets in the skull are 4 inches across; the eyeballs would have been about 3 inches in diameter.
