Another large but even more controversial sauropod is Bruhathkayosaurus, which had a calculated weight ranging between 126–220 t (139–243 short tons) and a length of 44.1 m (145 ft) [13] [14] [15] Although the existence of this sauropod had long been dismissed as a potential fake or a misidentification of a petrified tree trunk, recent ...
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.

His findings, published in 2019, yielded that Scotty is the largest (in weight and length), having out-measured the previous largest known Tyrannosaurus rex: Sue of the Chicago Field Museum (FMNH 2081). [13] After prolonged study of the growth patterns in the bones, "Scotty" was also declared as one of the oldest known T. rex fossils at 30 ...
Tyrannosaurus rex is the primary dinosaur featured in the novels and throughout the film series. For the first film, Winston's team created an animatronic T. rex that stood 20 feet (6.1 m), weighed 17,500 pounds (7,900 kg), and was 40 feet (12 m) long.

Her skeleton includes approximately 199 bones and nearly complete skull, accounting for about 65% of the total skeleton, making her the second most complete T. rex skeleton discovered to date (behind “Sue” for completeness).
