Meat Eaters

The T-Rex is also called a Tyrannosaurus rex
but T-Rex is just a nickname. The T-Rex is in a
group called carnivores which means meat eating.
The T-Rex also has great smell to find food. Their
teeth were 9 inches long. That's as big as a
banana!! It ate as much as it weighed which is as
much as 4 cars! The T-Rex ate more than 5 tons a
week. It was the largest meat eating dinosaur to
ever live on earth. The T-Rex was the king of all
dinosaurs because rex means king and there
name is T-Rex. The T-Rex also had very rough
skin.
