Tyrannosaurus Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex also known colloquially as "The King of the Dinosaurs," was a giant carnivorous theropod dinosaur from the Upper Maastrichtian, the last stage of the Cretaceous period, 65 to 66 million years ago.

Tyrannosaurus Rex is widely regarded as the most famous dinosaur.  This is partly because it was the first very large carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered and it was long believed to have been the largest that ever lived.  Another factor was that it was probably the fiercest meat eater that ever lived. At more than 40 feet tall, it was huge and had the most powerful head of any dinosaur. It also had the biggest teeth of any dinosaur, teeth that were not only sharp and cutting edged, but also thick and strong, capable of crushing bones.

Who? : Tyrannosaurus means "tyrant lizard."

What? : Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs that ever lived.

When? : Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous Period, 67 to 65.5 million years ago.

Where? : Tyrannosaurus rex lived in forested river valleys in North America during the late Cretaceous period.

Why? : It became extinct about 65 million years ago in the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction.

How? : Most believe all dinosaurs became extinct due to an asteroid, but the exact reason is still debated. There are other theories such as disease and weather pattern changes. But the most commonly accepted theory is that of the asteroid impact which caused devastation around the planet.
