TYRANNOSAURUS REX The T-Rex was about 15 feet tall and 40 feet long. That’s bigger than a school bus! They were one of the largest land meat-eating animals of all time. They have an S-curve neck and walked on their 2 hind legs. They also had very small forelimbs compared to the rest of its body. The T-Rex also had a large tail.
