    About this ebook

    Out of all the meat-eating animals that have ever lived on the planet Earth, the Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most awesome. Though the last of these huge carnivores lived 65 million years ago, they are still famous and capture our imaginations maybe more than any other dinosaur except the three-horned triceratops that they lived alongside.

    In this book, you'll learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.

      Introduction

      Out of all the meat-eating animals that have ever lived on the planet Earth, the Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most awesome. Though the last of these huge carnivores lived 65 million years ago, they are still famous and capture our imaginations maybe more than any other dinosaur except the three-horned triceratops that they lived alongside.

      The Age of the Dinosaurs was a long one and one of the most dramatic in our world's history. At that time, mammals – which would eventually grow to become horses, lions, woolly mammoths, elephants, orangutans, dogs, cats, and people once the big dinosaurs were gone – were just tiny rat like creatures living in burrows, tunnels, and thick plant growth on the ground. They had to keep out of sight of the dinosaurs as much as they could.

      There have been plenty of strange and wonderful mammals, but there haven't been any meat eaters to match Tyrannosaurus since the end of the dinosaur age. T. rex lived in what's now the United States, and ate triceratops as well as anything else they could catch and overcome. There were huge predatory dinosaurs in other parts of the world, including Africa and Mongolia, but we know more about Tyrannosaurus because so many of their fossil skeletons survived.

      Tyrannosaurus rex earned its name – which means tyrant lizard king – in many ways. This elephant-sized meat eater ran swiftly over the plains and hills of long ago on two powerful clawed legs, striking at its prey with a huge six foot long head and a mouth full of teeth as big as bananas. Tyrannosaurs were the fiercest and most dangerous meat eaters of their time – the last days of the dinosaurs, when some of the most exciting, advanced kinds of these ancient beasts walked the Earth.

      Chapter 1: What did they look like?

      Imagine a late Cretaceous water hole during the dry season, with blue water mirroring the sky, thick growths of ferns and cycads and spiky trees around the edge, and a flock of small, turkey-sized dinosaurs at the shore bending their slim necks down to drink. Suddenly, they lift their heads – listen for a second to soft but heavy footfalls coming –
