The study found that Tyrannosaurus's relative brain size was still within the range of modern reptiles, being at most 2 standard deviations above the mean of non-avian reptile EQs. The estimates for the ratio of cerebrum mass to brain mass would range from 47.5 to 49.53 percent.
The largest species was Tyrannosaurus rex, the most massive known terrestrial predator, which measured over 13 metres (43 ft) in length [2] and according to most modern estimates up to 8.87 metric tons (9.78 short tons) in weight. [3] [4] Tyrannosaurids were bipedal carnivores with massive skulls filled with large teeth. Despite their large ...
Size of some small genera, compared to a human. Tyrannosauroids varied widely in size, although there was a general trend towards increasing size over time. Early tyrannosauroids were small animals. [1] One specimen of Dilong, almost fully grown, measured 1.6 meters (5.2 feet) in length, [2] and a fully grown Guanlong measured 3 meters (9.8 ...
Dinosaurs show some of the most extreme variations in size of any land animal group, ranging from tiny hummingbirds, which can weigh as little as two grams, to the extinct titanosaurs, such as Argentinosaurus & Bruhathkayosaurus [1] which could weigh as much as 50–130 t (55–143 short tons).
It appears this Tyrannosaurus was about 13-15 years old, two-thirds adult size, 25 feet (7.6 meters) long and 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg). T. rex was fully grown at around 18-21 years.
This older study concluded that Sue was around 7,377 kg (8.1 tons) with a weight range of 5,531 kg (6 tons) to 9,224 kg (10 tons) while Scotty was heavier at 8,004 kg (8.8 tons) with a weight range of 6,000 kg (6.6 tons) to 10,007 kg (11 tons).

E. D. Cope (named after the paleontologist of the same name) is a Tyrannosaurus specimen discovered in South Dakota by Bucky Derflinger in 1999 at the same site as AMNH 3982. Excavations of this 10% complete skeleton began in 2000. The known material includes a partial skull, several vertebrae, and ribs. [18]
Trix (dinosaur) Trix is a Tyrannosaurus rex specimen excavated in 2013 in Montana, United States by a team of paleontologists from the Naturalis Biodiversity Center in Leiden, the Netherlands and Black Hills institute of Geological Research in South Dakota. This Tyrannosaurus, over thirty years old – the oldest known Tyrannosaurus specimen ...
