T-Rex Floppies 76cm - Cuddly Toy

Physical Characteristics
Tyrannosaurus Rex was a fierce predatory dinosaur that walked on two powerful legs. Tyrannosaurus Rex was up to 12.4m long, about 5 to 6m tall. But its famously small arms were only about 1m long, each with two fingers. Tyrannosaurus Rex was roughly 5 to 7 tons in weight - a huge creature. This meat-eater had a huge head with 50-60 large, pointed, replaceable teeth and well-developed jaw muscles to. Each bird-like foot had three large toes, all equipped with claws (plus a little dewclaw on a tiny, vestigial fourth toe). T-Rex had a slim, stiff, pointed tail that provided balance and allowed quick turns while running. T-Rex's neck was short and muscular. Its body was solidly built but its bones were hollow.

Habitat
The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in humid, semi-tropical environment, in open forests with nearby rivers and in coastal forested swamps. Fossils have been found in western North America and Mongoli.

Behaviour
The Tyrannosaurus Rex walked on its toes and therefore left footprints only 46 cm long, although its feet were much longer at approx 1m long. It had a stride length of up to 3-5 m and scientists think it may have run at up to 15 mph.

Breeding

Diet
T-Rex was a meat-eating dinosaur - a prodigious carnivore.
