How we know about T-Rex
Everything we know comes from fossils. Dozens of partial T. rex skeletons have been dug up since the first one was described in 1905. One of the most complete, nicknamed Sue, is on display at the Field Museum in Chicago.
About the T-Rex
Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs. It lived in western North America at the very end of the Cretaceous Period, roughly 68 to 66 million years ago. It walked on two powerful back legs, carried a huge head full of long teeth, and had short arms with two fingers on each hand.
Fun facts
- The name Tyrannosaurus rex means “tyrant lizard king”.
- Its largest teeth were over 20 centimetres long once the root is included.
- Its arms were short, but the bones were thick and strong.
- T. rex lived closer in time to us than it did to Stegosaurus.
- Scientists still debate how fast it could move; most estimates point to a brisk walk rather than a sprint.
