Tyrannosaurus Rex: The Scariest & Most Feared Dinosaur to Walk The Earth | Dinosaur Documentary

It's almost impossible to debate - no other animal that has ever lived on this planet has the same fearsome, iconic, near legendary status as Tyrannosaurus rex - the flagship and poster child of all the dinosaurs. There are a number of reasons as to why this is. Take into account the awesome form and figure of this dinosaur, with its giant, powerful skull, towering legs, and long, tapering tail.

It was one of the largest predators of the Cretaceous - and large animals tend to be looked upon with respect and wonder regardless. Moreover, it is one of the most well-represented dinosaurs in the fossil record - almost the entire Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton is known to science, and they in turn remain a staple of must-see museum exhibitions across the world. Like all the dinosaurs, however, there was much more to this superstar than the impact it has left behind. Something that is easy to forget, given the overload of Tyrannosaurus-related exaggerations in popular culture, presumably off the back of this dinosaur's draconic appearance, is that this was not a beast of folklore and legend - it really existed.

This was a living, breathing animal that prowled the plains and forests of Cretaceous Montana sixty-six million years ago. Just like the famous dinosaurs we have explored on this channel before, Tyrannosaurus rex had its own story to tell, its own unique lifestyle, evolutionary tale and more. It is this story that we aim to unravel in today's video, in order to paint a realistic image of this universally known dinosaur.

Sit back and relax as we take you on a tour through Prehistory to explore the life and times of Tyrannosaurus rex - the tyrant lizard king.
