Talk:Tyrannosaurus/@comment-25229481-20140726210159

what i want to know is why everybody calls it T-REX or tyrranosaurus rex or whatever. the rex part bothers me for several reasons. one being that there have been larger dinosaurs than this guy, they retreated from ankylosaurus and didnt have the most fearsome jaws on the planet. lioplueridon was a 25 metre long beast that could easily tear a dinosaur apart. there were massive sauropods that could destroy trees easily. above a certain size nothing would take them on. size was a big factor in the time of the dinosaurs and raptors have been around longer. all sorts of interesting creatures were better than tyrannosaurus.
