We placed this information above the Tyrannosaurus Rex coloring pages. Run and read them! At Coloring Together we are sure more than one fact will blow your mind.

1. The Tyrannosaurus could be found in almost all of North America. Incredible!
2. It is likely that Tyrannosaurus Rex babies were covered with very fine fuzz, like little ducklings!
3. Preserved feathers have been found from some dinosaur species, cousins of the T. Rex, like the Yutyrannus.
4. The Tyrannosaurus Rex were cannibals! Scientists are almost certain that, whether through fights or hunger, they ate one another.
5. By 2006, 30 Tyrannosaurus specimens had been found, including three complete skulls.
6. Scientists did not know whether the T. Rex was a predator or a scavenger, until they found a fossil of a Hadrosaur tail with a Tyrannosaurus tooth in it. Paleontologists determined that, indeed, the T Rex was a hunter.
7. The name T-Rex comes from Latinized Greek formed by "Tyrannus" (Tyrant) and "Saurus" (Lizard). And in Latin "Rex" for King. That is to say, the closest translation would be "The king of the tyrant lizards".
8. The Tyrannosaurus could walk from 16 to 40 km/h. Incredible! Although it is said that younger specimens could run at higher speeds.
9. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the largest predators that inhabited the Earth, with measurements that were around 12 and 13 meters long, and with an estimated weight of 6 to 9 tons.
10. The Tyrannosaurus Rex inhabited subtropical forests, some plains marked by rivers, lakes and places with abundant vegetation. In addition, they lived mostly in present-day North America.
11. The Tyrannosaurus had 60 teeth. Some were smooth, and others sharp. Others had serrated edges to crush the bones of their prey. How scary!
12. According to researchers, the T-Rex could eat up to 230 kilos of meat in one bite. Amazing!
13. The Tyrannosaurus had very good vision. Just like humans, they could see everything that was in front of them, and what they had to the sides.
14. One of the hypotheses about why the Tyrannosaurus' arms evolved to their tiny size was that they shrank to avoid their amputation in front of a pack of T-Rex over a carcass. They could bite their arms off by accident! And that would have been fatal.
15. The largest T-Rex specimen discovered so far is Scotty, a specimen 13 meters in length, that weighed more than 8,800 kilos. Almost 9 tons!
16. Each front leg of the Tyrannosaurus had nothing more than two fingers ending in claws. Incredible!
17. Some research indicates that the T-Rex hardly used its short arms, since its neck and head were enough to end the life of its prey.
18. What color do you think the Tyrannosaurus were? Actually nobody knows! There is no evidence that gives a sign about the color of the T-Rex. It is not known whether they were green, or earth tones.
19. Dinosaurs needed a lot of food in order to survive. In fact, fossilized droppings have been found that contained half-digested meat and bones, which means they had a fast metabolism.
20. Some researchers discovered that, if there was little food in the year, then young T-Rex did not grow as much during that period.
21. Although the front legs of the Tyrannosaurus were small, they are estimated to have been very strong, capable of lifting weights of up to 200 kilos. Incredible!
22. The mouth of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a meter long and each tooth was 30 centimeters in length. A bite would be fatal!
23. The Tyrannosaurus were able to regulate their temperature, that is to say, their metabolism produced heat on its own, incredible!
24. The first T-Rex skeleton was discovered by Barnum Brown in 1902, a paleontologist from the American Museum of Natural History.
25. According to a study published by the journal Science Advances, it was concluded that T-Rex grew like modern mammals and birds. They took around 20 years to become adults. Incredible!
