It’s unlike any other creature that has walked the planet.T-Rex is different. Something about Tyrannosaurs and Tyrannosaurus Rex itself is different than other predatory dinosaurs.But for such a celebrated killer able to take on the toughest creatures of the Cretaceous, some things just don’t add up.It’s slow. With a top speed not much more than 25 kilometers per hour, a T-Rex couldn’t even outrun a fit human.It’s also unwieldy, requiring a full two seconds to make a 45-degree turn.If a T-Rex were to fall over while chasing a prey item, it might seriously wound itself.And its hands, with only two fingers are completely useless for gripping prey.After its giant size and its huge teeth,the thing we most notice about T-Rex are its dinky, little arms, these tiny, little arms that can’t even reach its mouth.The giant T-Rex is a baffling creature. There has to be more to this killer.How did this giant mouth on legs become the dreaded butcher of the Cretaceous? Was its raw power, its shark-like jaws, or something else entirely?Fossils of Tyrannosaurus Rex have been unearthed in the U.S., Canada, and even Asia.
