Giants of the Past.

T-REX.

The name T (Tyrannosaurus) Rex means "terrible lizard". T.Rex was big and strong! It walked on two legs and it had two short arms. T.Rex had very sharp teeth and claws. It had a long neck and a long tail too. He was a meat-eater and hunted other dinosaurs! Once a very big comet hit the Earth and made a hole in it. There was a lot of dust from the hole. There was no sun, so the plants died. Then the dinosaurs died too because there was no sun.
