Its name is derived from Greek.

You can divide it into three parts;

tyranno,

which is a form of the greek word for tyrant,

saurus,

which means lizard,

and rex,

which means king.

So the name Tyrannosaurus rex really means the Tyrant king of lizards.

Answer 2: Tyrannosaurus rex (tyrant giant lizard) was about 10 feet [3 m] high at the hips. When standing, it could measure some 20 feet [6m] tall. It was about 40 feet [12m] long. Its head was up tp four feet [1.2m] in length, and it's large mouth was equipped with many six inch [15m] conelike teeth. The hind legs were very small. A huge lizardlike tail brought up the rear. Rather than walking ir is now concluded that the tyrannosaurs held their bodies horizontal, balancing their body's weight with their long tail.
