T.rex the “tyrant lizard king,” towered over its prehistoric world.
It wasn’t just a dinosaur - it was a legend. Thanks to its starring role in Jurassic Park, and its bone-crushing jaws and unforgettable silhouette, it became a global icon of prehistoric power.
T.rex lived around 68 to 66 million years ago. It was a fierce predator, stretching up to 40 feet long, standing 12 to 20 feet tall, and weighing nearly 9 tons. It could reach speeds of up to 15-20 miles per hour, and with its serrated, banana-shaped teeth, it could crush bone like it was popcorn.
