Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand next to a real-life Tyrannosaurus Rex? In this roaring episode of Science is Not Boring, Mira and Finn travel back 66 million years to the Late Cretaceous period to uncover the secrets of the ultimate dinosaur king!
Imagine a creature as long as a school bus and as heavy as two squished elephants! You will discover how the mighty T-Rex used its 60 banana-sized, bone-crushing teeth and an unbelievable bite force of nearly 13,000 pounds to shatter the bones of its prey. But it wasn't just super strong—it had real-life superpowers! Learn how its giant softball-sized eyes gave it amazing 3D vision to spot a moving animal from almost four miles away, and how grapefruit-sized smelling bulbs in its brain let it track scents from miles around.
Plus, we will answer the funniest question of all: why did this terrifying, nine-ton predator have such tiny little arms? From a wild teenage growth spurt where it gained five pounds every single day to the fossil hunter who first discovered it in 1902, get ready for a giant-sized prehistoric adventure!
