13 metres from nose to tail and a weight of 8.8 tonnes.
this is the sound of the targets on the biggest T. rex that have been found and gathered, write ScienceAlert according to the Science.dk.
It is a team of canadian paleontologists, who are behind the attention-grabbing work.
– here is the king of T. rex, says one of the palæontologerne behind, Scott Persons, a researcher at the University of Alberta in Canada, in a news release, according to Science.dk.
Palæontologerne has called the new giga-dino for Scotty after the scottish whisky, which was opened to celebrate the discovery of the T. rex skeleton. Scotty is, however, not a new acquaintance.

Scotty is not just the biggest T. rex, have been found, it is also one of the oldest.
As with the tree growth rings can paleontologists determine dinosaurs age by looking at its bones.
Scotty was around 30 years, which is the same age as Trix, there is the so far oldest T. rex known to man.
