Tyrannosaurus Rex


As most of you know the Tyrannosaurus Rex has been many a child's favorite dinosaur for many years now. But did any of you know that the Tyrannosaurus Rex has been carrying a load of controversy for a couple of years. Most of the argument are based upon if the Tyrannosaurus Rex or T-Rex was actually a hunting predator. Many scientists think that the T-Rex was too slow to catch it's own food and too big for a stealthy hunt. They now think that the T-Rex was a scavenger. Now this ruin my plans of growing up to be a dinosaur I mean that I used to play with dinosaur action figures when I was little and I would almost always be the T-Rex. Now think about this for a second cause I did and it made me ponder. Would you rather have your child making their T-Rex figure hunt down and kill another action figure or would you rather have your kid knowing that it ate dead things so he went out and killed himself a rat to play with? Hmm? That is a hard question isn't it.

Now I live in California, but I yet to see the all famous Sue. For educational purposes I guess I have to tell you who Sue is. Sue is the biggest T-Rex ever found on Earth. Now how could i not see something like that? I don't know. But I plan on seeing her soon. Eventually she was found in Montana where all the other specimens have been found. Not all of them but a good portion. Digging and finding a gigantic mold eating monster in your back yard must be exciting. Especially if you could still smell his breath! No I'm just kidding but I wonder if you might be able to still smell a dead animals breath after it dies 60 million years ago? Why am I asking myself this? Who knows. No really who knows?

This giant monster standing 16.6 feet tall and weighing as much as an elephant is still one of the worlds greatest predators. These guys could eat you with no problem. I would not want one of these T-Rex's as a pet for obvious reasons! And by the way, look how nasty they are! These animals were definitely put on Earth for a reason.
