Their skulls were large in comparison to their body size, and they possessed extremely powerful jaws. The design of the skull bones enabled it to absorb great stress without damage. The large curved teeth were serrated and thicker than other typical theropod teeth of laterally compressed design. This enabled the teeth of tyrannosaurs to puncture thick hide and tendons, crush bone with ease and hold up under the extreme bite force of the jaw muscles.
[From measurements for muscles and compression comparisons the Tyrannosaurs had the greatest bite pressure of any known animal.]
Fossils of tyrannosaurs have been found in North America and Central Asia.

Latest study hypothesises that T-Rex didn’t roar like mammals but hissed and produced infra sounds like their far away cousins the crocodiles.

For most animals, bearing teeth is considered a threat, not a sign that you’re being friendly.

It’s an even nicer smile when George is full sized.

That’s what possums do for defense.
