Tyrannosaurus is a variety of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex regularly called T. rex or conversationally T-Rex is one of the most all-around spoke to of the enormous theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived all through what is currently western North America, on what was then an island landmass known as Laramidia. Like different tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal flesh-eater with a gigantic skull adjusted by a long, overwhelming tail. Comparative with its enormous and amazing rear appendages, Tyrannosaurus forelimbs were short yet abnormally incredible for their size and had two torn digits. The most complete example matches 12.3 meters (40 feet) long however T. rex could develop to lengths of over 12.3 m (40 ft), up to 3.66 m (12 ft) tall at the hips, and as indicated by most present-day gauges 8.4 metric tons (9.3 short tons) to 14 metric tons (15.4 short tons) in weight. Albeit different theropods equaled or surpassed Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it is still among the biggest known land predators and is assessed to have applied the most grounded nibble power among every single earthly creature. By a wide margin the biggest meat eater in its condition, Tyrannosaurus rex was in all probability a zenith predator, going after hadrosaurs, shielded herbivores like ceratopsians and ankylosaurs, and potentially sauropods. A few specialists have recommended the dinosaur was essentially a scrounger. The topic of whether Tyrannosaurus was a summit predator or an unadulterated scrounger was among the longest discussions in fossil science. Most scientists today acknowledge that Tyrannosaurus was both a functioning predator and a scrounger.
