The T-rex is one of the most powerful animals I can think of. The titan is a 9-10 tons, 40ft long 14ft tall carnivorous apex. With the eyesight of a hawk, sense of smell of a blood hound and a bone crushing bite of 14000 psi and a possible IQ of a baboon is terrifying but amazing at the same time. Truly fantastic!
Technically even smaller, I believe while many of the more famous specimens are about 40, a lot of Tyrannosaurs average more around the 38 range, including Stan if I remember correctly.
It's funny how many times they tried to dethrone the King since the '90s. "It was fluffy" , "it was just a scavenger", "there are bigger predators than him". Except, as time passed, all those statements were not only proven wrong, but solidified his status as the biggest and most powerful predator ever
"There isn't a more iconic dinosaur than the T. rex, even people who don't know the difference between herbivore and carnivore know all about the Tyrannosaurus rex. And when you see her up close, feel her gaze... you understand why the T. rex was the ruler of the Cretaceous period." - Claire Dearing - Jurassic World: Evolution.
@@connormcmurphy4276People don’t really know *HOW* cool it is though, they just look at it as a brutal killer, rather than an actual animal due to the Jurassic franchise.
I feel I learned a lot more about the old classic Tyrannosaurus Rex in this video than what I knew from the books/shows I've seen. Glad I watched this & hope to see more videos like this about others dinosaurs
Hi, I'd like to thank you for re-invigorating my lifelong passion for Paleontology and Dinosaurs as a whole. My passion took a bit of a damper a few years ago when i realized I was simply too poor for college, and i had to focus on surviving the last few years, you and other creators have helped me stay up to date on Dinosaurs which has made me really happy.
That intro music is from the Eyewitness series from the late 90's, early 2000's. I used to looovvvvee those videos and books as a kid. Wonderful choice, awesome video, long live the king!
It's hard to put into words the sheer majesty of the Rex. Literally the most powerful land predator species to exist in the ENTIRE history of planet Earth. That's a title so incredible it's hard to even imagine .. it's made even more shocking when you look at how long it took for each Rex to reach full maturity. Surely, most of them died before adulthood so the fully grown Rex had to be an absolute killing machine
@@rodrigopinto6676 I know. I was only saying that he has great reasons on why he still thinks that Scotty is the largest tyrannosaurus specimen since there’s still no paper about E.D Cope yet but yes E.D Cope and Bertha are larger.
Fantastic video. I would love to see more of these kinds of videos on other creatures, like Spinosaurids, Machairodontinae, Synapsids and Ceratopsians.
I totally agree, as a dinosaur lover every time I try to learn more about my favorite dinosaurs the only stuff I see on the Internet is for toddlers. Prehistoric planet and this channel are the only videos I can watch 😔
T rex was always my favorite since i was a kid(I'm 21 now) and after some new studies, my respect for the rex has even grown more. Long live the king👑🦖
so many amazing things to learn about the Tyrant Lizard king! I hope you plan on doing a full video on therizinosaurus, Troodon (if its legit or not), and some of the biggest and greatest sauropods!
One of the most magnificent beings ever to walk the earth, Tyrannosaurus has gained many respect from the general public, but it's sad to see it's now inaccurate within the eyes of the viewers.
Omgggg, I love our Trix!! 🌷🇳🇱 She is named after our former Queen Beatrix. So awesome to hear she is one of the oldest specimen found. Trix is absolutely lovely. Definitely worth a visit to Naturalis in Leiden. ♥️
It would be amazing if we could go back in time and see one in person. I bet when adults werent hunting, they were pretty chill. The juveniles would be the ones i wouldnt want to deal with.
This year there’s gonna be a film about T.Rex coming out in late spring, it’s one of those films that are only showcased in museums, but this film will be showcased in public theaters!
I remember them saying in that study that said that T. rex was intellectually on par with primates that it would also mean that it would live longer than 30 years also.
It’s amazing the informations we have about the T. rex has turn them into a jack of all trades. Best eyesight of any dinosaurs. Different growth rates for preventing competitions. Fitting not only in Apex level but also in midsize predators levels for those juveniles. Possible social animals but also a solitary animal. Great sense of smell. Powerful bite, can change their growth and metabolism depend on harsh environment and foods. Truly a magnificent animal ever existed.
Ironically enough, Jack Horner was among a group of paleontologists who pushed forth the hypothesis that Stygimoloch and Dracorex may have actually been Pachycephalosaurus at different stages of growth, not too dissimilar to what we currently know about T. rex's forms during its growth.
Could you do a video on Triceratops and the history of the species? Diving deep into the T. Prorsus, T. Horridus, and clue in Torosourus? Triceratops is my all time favorite dinosaur and what started my love for paleontology. Your videos as well have been amazing and highly informative, keep up the great work
Such a great video, T-Rex is my all time favorite dinosaur so this was a real treat! Would love to get your opinion on the new Tyrannosaurus Mcraensis.
The tyrannosaurus rex is both of of the most famous dinosaurs of all time but also the most powerful land carnivore to ever walk the earth The prefect combination of both fame and power for the king of the dinosaurs
Mr Dino your channel is unbelievably amazing... I was wondering if you had a video on the land mass of North America when it was split in two parts with a inland sea. About 250 million years ago. Do you have anything on these two land masses and the plants.
Thank you so much for this. Would you please consider doing a video in medium sized theropods? I really adore the big ones, and everyone loves the dromeosaurs and such, but I think the mediums deserve some shine.
Thank you for this! It sums up rex history very descriptively yet very succinctly. I love that image of rex at 12:05 by Julio Lacerda. Beautiful! On another note- will you be narrating more dino (or maybe even any prehistoric animal) horror short stories in the new year?
#1 0:00 That music in the background is from the 1994 DK Documentary EYEWITNESS. Yet in slight slow motion. #2 Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most popular Dinosaur in both North America & in the world. I like T.Rex & most of its kin AKA Related Species. Wait that dueling dinosaurs find, I thought they said that Tyrannosaur with the Triceratops was Nanotyrannus? 9:17 I have seen this recent Illustration, I hope it’ll be published in a Hardcover book soon. 10:22 (Gasp) That illustration, I saw it on that A to Z Dinosaur book when I was kid back in 1998 & where I was 1st introduced to the Pygmy Tyrant.
The t rex was and is still popular . The t rex infamous animal and dinosaur ever known . Something people take full advantage of . It's big , we'll studied , great predator, king of theropods .
Wait wait wait wait......holy shit! I recognize that music from the intro! Thats from a very old animated dinosaur documentary series! I used to rent that at the library as a kid! It was on VHS!

A bit over 42ft long (Scotty).

The king Tyrant is just too good at this
All of these statements apply to bears and we still avoid them
I don't think "it was fluffy" ever made T. rex less of a king though.
Long live the King 🦖
@@catpoke9557 that meant it was gonna be laughed at cause looks like a giant chicken
Love the Eyewitness callback. Those tapes were my childhood. T. Rex is also my spirit animal.
Most of these people have no idea what they were hearing. 90's kids know.
@@sebastianthehotsaucedude5473 I was technically born in the 90's, and these old tapes were being used up into the early 2000's.
Brings me back to when we would watch these in elementary school.
@@countlazuli8753 Right? If that computer generated museum in the intro was a real place, I would have spent hours there, if not DAYS.
The “Eyewitness” theme at the start was a nice touch!
T-Rex was the very first dinosaur that I have ever heard of and loved when I was 5 years old and now look at it, such primal magnificents
The first dinosaur I knew was stegosaurus.
But tyrannosaurus rex will always be my favorite.
Ankylosaurus is my favourite
I like trains

Even people who dont even know the difference between pterosaurs and dinosaurs know about the T. rex
I never bothered figuring that out, could ya do me a favour and tell me that difference?@@kabirahaque5122
This. I was thinking about this many times
I am happy to see more videos giving T. Rex their long needed spotlight, even more so showing how powerful and intelligent they are.
Long needed spotlight? It’s the most studied, most popular, and most readily recognizable dinosaur in the world.
@@connormcmurphy4276 True, but for a while, it was underappreciated and sometimes looked down thanks to the trend of comparing it to other theropods.

Oh boy, you know it’s gonna be a good documentary when THAT intro is pumpin! 😎👌
The moment I heard that flute I was 7 again watching VHS tapes in my basement about dinosaurs in 1999. Thank you for the memories.
That eyewitness intro goes so hard still

You should keep doing videos like this because I feel like there’s not really any entertaining dinosaur information videos like this.

Oh, my beautyfull killerfrighttrains!❤
With that large size, weight, and bite force they owned the title "The tyrant-king"
And many others
Sure did
Now I'm curious to how long a T-rex could live in captivity.
Easily 30, perhaps even up to 50-60 years.
Large wild animals usually live longer in captivity if I recall correctly.
Presuming adequate Healthcare and a good diet, I'd say a good 50-60 years.
I’m very hyped for this video

These videos never cease to amaze me about the animals of the past and continue to show me how much i still have to learn. Good work as ever my friend
I find it amazing that it was given the perfect name about a 100 years ago.
Thx for the reminder
Thanks for the vid. Such an amazing creature. All Dino’s are really but especially the King.
There’s so much to discover about these amazing creatures, would love if you covered the new information on the tyrannosaurus mcraensis!

Would be cool if you make a video about triceratops as well
Amazing Video once again! Also congratulations on being 🔥verified🔥!
Great video and discussion- thank you
dang this is a pretty informational video. this really helped me!!!!!! btw could you makea short about thanatotheristes?
You didn't mention the other new huge Rex, Bertha.
There’s no size estimate yet so that’s probably why he didn’t mention it. But the guy studying it has said it’s bigger than Cope so…

My all time favorite dinosaur 🦖 no body messes with the king I fear and love this beautiful and wonderful titan
The best intro ever
Hope you can make another "Understanding" video on other Dinosaurs like Velociraptor and Giganotosarus
I cant believe it was an underestimated movie monster to the most powerful carnivorous theropod with a bite strong enough to flatten a van
An excellent book that supports many of these valid theories is The Rise and the Fall of the Dinosaurs, it’s definitely worth checking out
I also find the fact interesting, that Tyrannosaurus Rex is the only animal which most people know it’s full scientific name.
T-Rex, my favorite animal of all time.
Great video as always. Mike from Prehistoric Magazine
