You need no introduction to this animal but oh well.
Tyrannosaurus rex(Tyrant lizard king) was the apex predator of Laramidia during the Late Cretaceous epoch of the Cretaceous period. It was enormous at about 12 meters long and 6 tonnes. While it was for the longest time thought to be a carnosaur like Allosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus, it's actually a giant ceolurosaur related to not just other tyrannosaurids like Tarbosaurus and Teratophoneus but also dromaeosaurids like Velociraptor, oviraptosaurs like Gigantoraptor, troodontids like Stenonychosaurus, and birds of course.
Tyrannosaurus lived in mildly warm forests and plains. It likely used the thick underbush to capitalize on ambush tactics to hunt its prey. Big predators need big prey and its likely favorite was Edmontosaurus, a common large herbivore in the region. Triceratops was also a common herbivore and would also be prey for Tyrannosaurus. Ankylosaurus and Denversaurus were tougher targets but were also viable. Alamosaurus were impervious to any predator even for one large as Tyrannosaurus so only young, old, sick, or exhausted individuals would have been prey. Smaller creatures like Ornithomimus, Anzu, Pachycephalosaurus, Didelphodon, and other small mammals and reptiles would only have been viable prey for young tyrannosaurs. Cannibalism would also have been practiced by Tyrannosaurus. Tyrannosaurus would have stalked its prey and charged at it at full speed to catch the animal off guard and kill it with its powerful bite. The short but strong arms would have been useful in holding the prey while the Tyrannosaurus delivered a powerful bite.
Tyrannosaurus went extinct 66 million years ago during the K-Pg extinction event.
