Tyrannosaurus rex was a very large theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now western North America in the Late Cretaceous Period (68-66 million years ago). It went extinct with the last of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous Period.

• Scientific name: Tyrannosaurus rex meaning ‘tyrant lizard’ and ‘king’
• Characteristics: Tyrannosaurus, at least 40 feet long, and 5-6 metric tons in weight, was top of the food chain in the Late Cretaceous. Its huge jaws contained lots of dagger-like, six inch teeth that it used to slice apart prey.
• Size and color: This model is 12 inches long and 5.5 inches high. Like many living lizards, its upper parts are in dark, neutral earth tones with slightly lighter underparts.
• The Tyrannosaurus Rex is part of the Great Dinos collection
• All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA free

Tyrannosaurus is not only one of the most famous dinosaurs, it is also one of the first dinosaurs to be discovered in North America. The first dinosaur bones in the western part of North America were found in the 1870s. This began the ‘great dinosaur rush’, a bit like a ‘gold rush’, but these prospectors were looking for dinosaur skeletons, not gold. Expeditions from many museums converged on the area, and competed for the most dinosaurs. Many of our familiar dinosaurs like Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Apatosaurs, Diplodocus, and of course Tyrannosaurus, were found by these expeditions in the final years of the 19th century and the first few years of the 20th century. Skeletons of Tyrannosaurus are very rare, but occasionally we still find a nice one, like the Tyrannosaurus nicknamed ‘Sue’ that was found in 1990 in South Dakota. It is now on exhibit in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.

It walked on its hind legs, using its long tail to balance its heavy head. Its front limbs were very short, and its hands were reduced to just two tiny fingers. They couldn’t have been any use for walking, fighting other dinosaurs, or grasping prey. It is possible that, like the human appendix, they no longer had any function at all.
