Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex)

It’s amazing to know that hundreds of years ago there were once giant reptiles, known as dinosaurs with tiny brains who “ruled the earth”.
Out of all the dinosaurs, the one who is at the top of the food chain is tyrannosaurus rex (also known as T-rex). T-rex was one of the largest carnivores ever, standing at 12m long and 6m tall and weighing at around 7000 pounds.

Through scientific research it is believed that the T-rex was so powerful it could eat up to 500 pounds (230 kg) of meat in one bite. Not only is that an excessive amount of food in one bite, T-rex also used to crush and break the bones of the animals it used to eat.
So if you are terrified of bears, sharks, lions or any other living animal in today’s society, then thank god that you were not alive during the time of T-rex.

Because many of these facts about dinosaurs are through their remains in fossils and through extreme scientific research, not many people believe in the existence of them. But personally, I think it is astonishing to know that there were such creatures that touched the same soil we do, everyday.
