Tyrannosaurus rex is the dinosaur we all pretended to be as kids. If we had to be a dinosaur living tens of millions of years ago, T. rex was the one.
Ever since its fossil discovery at the start of the 20th century, the theropod of theropods has fascinated even those who know nothing more about dinosaurs than what they have learned from the “Jurassic Park” series. When it comes to comparing the Steven Spielberg movies (or Michael Crichton books) and Mark Witton’s new book on the famous dinosaur entitled “King Tyrant: A Natural History of Tyrannosaurus rex,” there really is no comparison.
