Tyrannosaurus rex history Over half of the known Tyrannosaurus rex specimens appear to have died within six years. So that why the scientist find a lot of tyrannosaurus babies.
Amazing Fact 1 Tyrannosaurus Rex had an incredibly powerful bite. Back in 1996, a team of Stanford University scientists determined that T. Rex chomped on its prey with anywhere from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds of force, comparable to a modern alligator. For purposes of comparison, the average adult human can bite with a force of about 175 pounds. A bite that powerful may have been capable of penetrating an ankylosaur's armor
Amazing Fact 2 No one knows why T. Rex's arms were so short. Did Tyrannosaurus Rex use its stunted arms to push itself off the ground after restful naps, or to clasp struggling prey close to its chest? Or is it possible that this predator's arms were completely useless, and would have disappeared entirely as happened with snakes after another few million years of evolution? No one has a clue.
