Each of its sharp teeth was 7 inches long.  That’s about the size of an adult’s hand.

• An adult Tyrannosaurus Rex was 42 feet tall and 18 feet long.  Imagine 14 of your classmates standing on each other’s shoulders.  That’s how tall the Tyrannosaurus Rex was!  

• Just their skull was 5 feet long, the size of some adults.

• Tyrannosaurus Rex was so large, scientists use airplane scanners to examine their bones!
