The hard life of a T-Rex

Tyrannosaurus Rex was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. It was one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs that ever lived. Scientists believe this powerful predator could eat up to 500 pounds (230 kilograms) of meat in one bite.

However, what most people don't know is how hard its life was. Can you see its arms? They are really short! T-Rex is not able to do many things due to the length of its arms.
