NOTE: We would like to correct two errors in this video. TRexes were not ornithischians; they were saurischians. Additionally, the correct pronunciation of giganotosaurus is jaiganuhtuhsawruhs. We apologize for the inconvenience.

When you think about dinosaurs, is the tyrannosaurs rex the first to come to mind? Maybe not, but we're sure you have at least heard of it! In this video for kids, you will learn fun facts about this king of the tyrant lizards.

The tyrannosaurs rex, or TRex, was an apex predator. That means that it was at the very top of the food chain; it was prey to no other animal. From snout to tail, it was up to 40 feet long, and it weighed 7 to 8 tons. That's as long and as heavy as a modern school bus! Despite the large size, these creatures could run as fast as 25 miles per hour!

The TRex had a strong sense of smell that helped them find prey as well as potential mates. In fact, their sense of smell is really similar to that of a house cat! And technically, the TRex is a distant cousin of the chicken as well. Some scientists even think the TRex might have had feathers.

Now, what about the arms? Well, watch the video to find out about these small but strong appendages.

We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these four different landforms! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about dinosaurs, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
