Tyrannosaurus rex
King of dinosaurs
Tyrannosaurus rex is a large carnivorous dinosaur that lived in North America during the late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago.
Known for its massive skull, powerful jaws, and tiny forelimbs, it ranks among the largest land predators ever to exist.
Often shortened to T. rex, it dominates popular culture as the quintessential dinosaur: The museum's T. rex skeleton draws thousands of visitors.
The name means "tyrant lizard king."
