An enormous bipedal dinosaur believed to be able to run up to 25 mph. Sue was the largest specimen ever found measuring 40 feet long and standing 13 feet tall. She was 28 years old when she died of unknown causes possibly an injury to her leg causing her to be unable to hunt her normal prey. Tyrannosaur weighed about 9 tons. While not as long as some of the other carnivores of its time Tyrannosaurus was a dangerous beast although some believed it to be a scavenger. They lived in North America from the Dakotas to New Mexico.

It was believed to have had feathers as a chick

All evidence points to adults also having feathers, but otherwise good :)

Very interesting growth chart similar to some breeds of dog.

If you look at the facial expression it looks a bit fed up Ha Ha (maybe because its extinct)

I thought Tyrannosaurus adults couldn't run fast because of their ankle bones.

@Bringing Fossils to Life this post is 7 years old, hasn’t had a post in as many years, and I was an actual child when I wrote it ;)
