The 13-meter-long tyrannosaurus was an impressive-looking bipedal predator with its powerful skull and teeth nearly 20 centimeters long.

The tyrannosaurus rex looked very threatening, but it could hardly use its short forelegs with only two claws, since they didn't even reach its mouth. At nearly seven meters tall and almost thirteen meters long, tyrannosaurus rex was probably not a good hunter, but a scavenger feeding on what other animals left behind. It had more than fifty teeth over 15 centimeters long which it did not use for chewing, but only to shred its food which it swallowed in large chunks. For better depth perception when foraging, the eyes of tyrannosaurus rex were forward-facing, so that the field of vision of the two eyes overlapped.

Funny detail: When the T-Rex lost one of its sharp teeth, it only took a few weeks for a new one to grow back.
