Tyrannosaurus
One of the most famous and fearsome dinosaurs, T. rex lived during the Late Cretaceous (around 68โ66 million years ago). As an apex predator, it measured up to 40 feet (12 meters) in length, stood about 13โ15 feet (4โ5 meters) tall at the hips, and weighed between 9โ14 tons. It had powerful jaws lined with teeth capable of crushing bone, a robust skull, and tiny but functional arms. Its diet included large prey like hadrosaurs and ceratopsians.
