How T-Rex Was Built
Tyrannosaurus rex walked on two powerful back legs. Its long, heavy tail balanced out its big head – kind of like a seesaw. It had an amazing sense of smell, which we know from the large smell-processing areas in its skull. Its eyes faced partly forward, helping it judge distances well. One of the most complete T-Rex skeletons ever found is named “Sue,” and you can visit her at a museum in Chicago.
Fun Ideas for Your Finished T-Rex
Give your T-Rex a name, just like the famous skeleton “Sue,” and write it in big letters under the picture. Tape the page onto a long sheet of paper and draw a whole prehistoric landscape around it. Or play seesaw: how do the head and tail keep T-Rex balanced?
