| Abstract: | TYRANT lizard
king. That is the meaning of the name Tyrannosaurus rex, which everyone
knows, as flesh-eating dinosaur. It is now, thankfully, quite extinct.
T.
rex as
it is familiarly called has been described thus by Roy Chapman Andrews, “When
erect on his two hind limbs, he was 18 ft (5.5 m) high. The small
forelimbs were equipped with large talons. The great mouth opened a yard wide
and was armed with double-edged dagger like teeth six inches (15cm) long.
Its food was the flesh of other dinosaurs.” |
