Why Is T-Rex Called a “King”?
The “rex” in Tyrannosaurus rex is Latin for king. It got its name in 1905, shortly after a skeleton was dug up in Montana. T-Rex lived in the late Cretaceous period alongside dinosaurs like Triceratops and was one of the biggest meat-eaters of its time. Of course, it never wore a real crown – the nickname “king of the dinosaurs” comes from its size and its name.
Fun Ideas for Your Dino King
Decorate the crown with glitter, sequins, or a bit of foil to make it sparkle. Then make your own paper crowns and play royal dino court – who’s the king, and who’s in his royal crew? The finished page also makes an awesome dino party invitation.
