Description
A marvelously illustrated look at everything we now know about the fearsome king of the dinosaurs.
Tyrannosaurus rex is the world's favourite dinosaur, adored by the public and the subject of intense study and debate by palaeontologists. This stunningly illustrated book brings together everything we have learned about T. rex—the 'King of the Tyrant Lizards'—since it was first given its famous name in 1905. It presents these creatures as science knows them rather than the version portrayed in movies, revealing them to be dramatically different, and far more amazing, than ever imagined.
With numerous original paintings and diagrams by the author, King Tyrant draws on the latest discoveries to offer a modern understanding of Tyrannosaurus, pulling back the curtain of media hype that often obscures these extraordinary extinct animals while cementing their reputation as the most formidable carnivores of the Mesozoic.
