Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur head
Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur head, computer artwork. This dinosaur lived in North America and Asia from about 70 million years ago until the mass extinction of the dinosaurs some 5 million years later. The head is heavily built, probably to allow it to withstand its impact with a prey animal. It has the sharp teeth of a predator, although T. rex is thought to have been a scavenger as well as an active hunter. One of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs, T. rex measured 6 metres in height and weighed up to 7 tonnes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring head of a Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur, brought to life through intricate computer artwork. This formidable creature once roamed the lands of North America and Asia approximately 70 million years ago, until the fateful mass extinction event that occurred around 5 million years later. The sheer size and weight of this carnivorous giant were truly astonishing, standing at an impressive height of 6 meters and weighing up to a staggering 7 tonnes. The heavily built T. rex head is a testament to its predatory nature, adorned with sharp teeth designed for tearing into prey. However, recent studies suggest that this fearsome dinosaur may have also scavenged for food in addition to actively hunting. Its powerful jaws could deliver bone-crushing bites, enabling it to withstand impact during encounters with other animals. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are transported back in time to an era when these ancient reptiles ruled the Earth. The attention to detail in capturing every aspect of this prehistoric predator's features is truly astounding – from its gaping mouth and protruding tongue to its intense gaze filled with primal instinct. This extraordinary piece serves as a reminder of our planet's rich natural history and the incredible diversity that once existed within it. It ignites our curiosity about these magnificent creatures who reigned supreme during the Cretaceous period and invites us into their world filled with motion, action, and raw power.
