 Tyrannosaurus Rex

 

I learned about Tyrannosaurus-Rex.  This dinosaur lived in the Cretaceous period 65-70 million years ago.  Tyrannosaurus-Rex was a carnivore.  This means that it ate meat.  Tyrannosaurus-rex walked on two legs.  It was forty feet long, eighteen feet tall, and it weighed eight tons.  One interesting fact I learned about Tyrannosaurus-Rex is that it was a good hunter.  It also followed the slow moving or the injured dinosaurs that were plant-eating dinosaurs and it waited for the right time to attack.  Another interesting thing I learned was what the dinosaur lived in what is now the Western United States and Canada.  The climate was warm and wet during the time T-Rex lived.  I think learning about dinosaurs is fun!
