Description:

The 'Tyrant lizard king' or Tyrannosaurus Rex really lives up to its name. It is one of the largest and fiercest of the carnivorous dinosaurs. In the wild, Tyrannosaurus Rex hunts herds of herbivorous dinosaurs through humid, semi-tropical forests.

The adult Tyrannosaurus Rex is 40 feet long and 15 feet high, and its prey is often many times larger. It can use its massive jaw and six inch replaceable teeth to bring down even the plated stegosaurus. Although its short arms (roughly three feet in length) are not particularly useful in a battle, the Tyrannosaurus Rex can bring down its prey with one huge bite. It allows its prey to weaken or bleed to death before consuming it in giant 500 pound mouthfulls.

In addition to hunting the weak members of dinosaur herds, Tyrannosaurus Rex has also been known to scavenge meals. A combination of sharp eyesight and a strong sense of smell allows these massive carnivores to locate the remnants of other's kills. Tyrannosaurus Rex makes an especially good scavenger since no other dinosaur is likely to challege its right to share the bounty of a fresh kill.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is built for long distance travel, and can range over a large area in search of food. Its massive legs end in two-toed feet, and its stiff tail is used for balance. No one knows how fast a Tyrannosaurs Rex can run when it is truly in a hurry, but many guess that these creatures can travel upwards of 50mph. They seldom maintain those speeds for long, as their massive size and weight means that a fall could be fatal.

Unlike the herbivores they make their meals of, Tyrannosaurus Rex do not travel in herds. In fact, adults will often battle each other, sometimes to the death. Many Tyrannosaurus Rex carry the scars and wounds from these battles for their entire lives.

In captivity, a hungry Tyrannosaurus Rex often will eat domestic herd animals such goats and sheep if it is unable to obtain its normal diet of stegosaurus meat. But this fearsome animal will kill and consume almost any creature that is unfortunate enough to wander into its habitat. It may even even consume the occasional guest who gets a little too close.

Zookeepers, beware.
