{i} name of a large type of dinosaur which walked in an erect manner on its hind legs
Any of a group of related carnivorous dinosaurs similar to the allosaurs. Tyrannosaurus rex is the largest and best known, found as fossils in Late Cretaceous (99-65 million years ago) deposits of North America and eastern Asia. Some adults were more than 40 ft (12 m) long and 16-18 ft (over 5 m) tall and weighed 6 tons (5.4 metric tons) or more. Tyrannosaurs walked with a stooped posture, carrying the body forward and the long tail off the ground. They had a short, thick neck, a very large skull, and pointed teeth, up to 6 in. (15 cm) long, with serrated edges. Each small forelimb had two claws, perhaps for holding struggling prey. A nearly complete skeleton of T. rex called "Sue" is on display at the Field Museum in Chicago. Other tyrannosaurs include Albertosaurus, Alectrosaurus, and Nanotyrannus
