Papo Tyrannosaurus Rex measures: 9″ L x 6.5″ H.
“Tyrannosaurus” means “tyrant lizard” and “Rex” is Latin for “King”. Thus you have “Tyrant Lizard King” which is a great description! The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a bipedal dinosaur which had a long tail to counter balance its massive head. The most complete speciman measures 40 feet long! Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it is still among the largest known land predators and is estimated to have exerted the strongest bite force among all terrestrial animals.
Tyrannosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the best represented of these large theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the Upper Cretaceous period, 68 to 66 million years ago. It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids and among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
