This "tyrant lizard king" which means Tyrannosaurus rex is Pronounced tie-RAN-o-SAWR-us rex.
He was a Carnivore (meat-eater), and T.Rex ate large dinosaurs, like Triceratops.
He was a 40 feet long, 15 to 20 feet in height and weighed 5 to 7 tons.
This great dinosaur lived in the Late Cretaceous period, about 85-65 million years ago and fossil have been found in the USA (in Montana, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming), Canada (Alberta and Saskatchewan), and east Asia (Mongolia).
About 30 incomplete T. Rex fossils have been found. One T. rex footprint has been found, in an undisclosed location in New Mexico, USA. Fossilized T.rex dung has also been found. The first T. rex was found in Hell Creek, Montana, USA, North America by Barnum Brown in 1902.
His jaws are a massive weapon with 50 to 60 blade-like teeth, some up to 9 inches long! His diet is meat and T. Rex lived in the woodlands.
T-Rex's head was about 5 feet long. Its skull had holes in it which made it lighter and easier to carry around. T-Rex was one of the best known dinosaurs, but it didn't live all that long. T-Rex came along just before the dinosaurs became extinct. You often see T-Rex pictures with his tail stretched out behind him. He did this for balance. T-Rex had a very good sense of smell. When T-Rex ran, he could go 20 miles per hour and could cover 15 feet in one step!
