From nose to tail, Tyrannosaurus rex was 13 meters long. Its skull alone is 1.5 meters long. However, although this dinosaur is huge, its arms are extremely small.
Tyrannosaurus rex is the largest dinosaur in the family Tyrannosaurus. This was followed by other tyrannosaurs such as Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus, and Yutyrannus.
