"Tyrannosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex, commonly abbreviated to T. rex, is one of the dinosaurs most often featured in popular culture around the world. It hails from what is now western North America. Some scientists consider Tarbosaurus bataar from Asia to represent a second species of Tyrannosaurus, while others maintain Tarbosaurus as a separate genus.
Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to the large and powerful hindlimbs, Tyrannosaurus forelimbs were small and retained only two digits. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded T. rex in size, it was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators, measuring over 13 metres (43 feet) in length and up to 7.5 tons in weight. "

Tyrannosaurs.......>_< I really can not pronounce this word, difficult for me. I always see T.rex in movies. In the movies, T.rex plays a important role, a hunter. I am really scared T.rex. Its face is uglily and monstrous. Its teeth are thin and acuate. Sometimes, a part of other animals' body is in its mouth with bleeding. (trembling~~~~~) So, in the movies, T.rex always scare audiences. In Chinese, Tyrannosaurs are called "BaWang Long". BaWang means overlord. That means T.rex is king of the danosaurs. But, people use 'Ba Wang Long' for chat-name, game role's name or brand's name, because they think this name is so cool.
