However, there may be a side to the carnivore that many do not know about.
Palaeontologists at New York’s American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) are about to unveil the results of a remarkable project.
They have constructed stunning models of the T-rex as a hatchling, as a four-year-old, and as an adult, based on the latest discoveries and thinking.
Their intent is to provide the most scientifically accurate renderings ever of the dinosaur as part of their “T–rex: The Ultimate Predator” show.
