T-Rex Facts for Kids

Tyrannosaurus rex is everyone's favorite dinosaur.

With that big toothy grin, T-rex stomps around and roars before chasing people, crunching up their cars and generally causing all kinds of trouble.

This animal is big, he's bad and he's dangerous to know!

Or at least that's the movie version of what T-rex was all about. It's great fun.

But how true is it? What was T-rex really like?

All the dinosaurs, including T-rex, died out millions of years ago. They left behind some fossils, bones, footprints and not much else but questions. Who were they, really? How did they live? Why are they gone? And could they come back, not just in the movies, but for real?
