Short but deep jaws, long hind limbs (legs), beady eyes, a long muscular tail, and tiny forelimbs (arms) make up a tyrannosaur. The Tyrannosauridae included such similar animals as Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus, and of course Tyrannosaurus Rex. A tremendous skeleton of Rex now stands guard in the Valley Life Sciences Building in Washington. Tyrannosaurs belong
Comparing Tyrannosaurus Rex and Raptor When I was a little boy, I thought that the tyrannosaurus Rex was the most feared, and dominate dinosaur before the Great Extinction. But after I saw Jurassic park, it was clear to me that the raptor was the better predator. The raptor, as shown in the movie, was quick and deadly.

From Child to Adult as From Human to Dinosaur Perceiving dinosaurs as a realistic career choice, children mutate into a tyrannosaurus rex, destroying everything in sight. Their kryptonite, their worst enemy, their parents, annihilating their childhood dreams and stopping them in their tiny child sized tracks.
