Tyrannosaurus Rex

If you grew up in the 90s, you’ve probably seen one of the most epic movies to ever hit the big screen. In 1993, Steven Spielberg directed the movie Jurassic Park, a film that tells the story of an island with a dinosaur theme park that houses real dinosaurs, cloned from DNA found in mosquitoes trapped in amber and brought back to life. John Hammond, the parks owner, invites four individuals, together with his grandchildren, to check the park out for the first time. However, a worker from the park tries to take the dinosaur embryos in a bid to sell it on the black market, causing the whole electricity system to shut off. It then becomes a survival game for everyone on the island as the dinosaurs break free of their enclosures.

One of the most remembered scenes from the movie was when the Tyrannosaurus Rex walked across the electric fence while the people hid inside the car.  Tyrannosaurus is Greek for tyrant and lizard, which perfectly describes what a T-Rex. This dinosaur can grow to about 12.3 m or 40 feet tall and once roamed parts of western North America. These giant bipedal carnivores walked on two legs and had short arms and fed off smaller dinosaurs such as the ceratopsians and hadrosaurs. However, many studies also support the theory that these dinosaurs were also scavengers and searched other dead dinosaurs for food. They have large skulls that house powerful, bone crushing jaws and sharp teeth. Their large skulls paint the image of an animal capable of making very loud roars that can e heard a mile away.

Contrary to popular belief, a Tyrannosaurus Rex does not have the brain the size of a walnut. Tyrannosaurus Rexes are actually very intelligent dinosaurs, with their brains much bigger then a human brain.
