It hardly needs to be said: Tyranno-
saurus rex is the largest, most formida-
ble natural carnivore ever to walk the
face of the earth. In tyrannosaurus rex,
the huge head and teeth typical of the
carnosaur are taken to their furthest ex-
treme. Its pathetic forelimbs are useless
for combat. Despite its bulk (up to 8
tons), its powerful legs can bear it quite
swiftly for short distances. Its head is
carried about 14 feet from the ground
when moving. Tyrannosaurus rex is the
largest member of the family of tyranno-
saurs, a group that includes tarbosaurus
(15 HD) and gorgosaurus (12 HD).
