T.rex, Triceratops
Tyrannosarus rex and Triceratops

T. rex for short means the tyrant lizard king, was a huge meat-eating dinosaur that lived about 85 to 65 million years ago.  Fossils have been found in the western North America and Mongolia.
It measured about 40 feet long, 15 to 20 feet tall, and its arms 3 feet long, weighing about 5 to 7 tons.

It was a rhinoceros like dinosaur that lived about 72 to 65 million years ago. It measured 30 feet long, 10 feet tall and weighed about 6 to 12 tons. It had three horns on its face along with a large bony plate projecting from the back of its skull (a frill).

Both these mammals were contemporaries and lived almost at the same era.

This is now on display at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

    These are great photos. I can’t wait to show them to my son as soon as he wakes up from his nap. He is very interested in dinosaurs and I’m sure he would love to see these magnificent shots.
