Summary, Etc. "Exceeding 40 feet in length and weighing more than 9 tons, the largest T. rex were intimidating predators. They were capable of crushing bone and easily consuming more than a hundred pounds of flesh in a bite. But the last of the dinosaurs had a life beyond ripping and tearing. More than 66 million years ago, T. rex courted each other, nested, watched over their offspring, and explored ancient floodplains inhabited by a fantastic cast of fellow dinosaurs, such as huge long-necked Alamosaurus and burly, three-horned Torosaurus. For the first time, the life story of this impressive, sensitive predator is told as if you were there to watch it unfold. In her latest prehistoric nature walk, bestselling and award-winning author Riley Black follows the life of plucky T. rex Snaggletooth from the time she hatches through her tumultuous adulthood. The prehistoric forest Snag emerges into is full of danger, and yet, as Black weaves the latest fossil discoveries into the story, the carnivorous dinosaur survives to adulthood in Cretaceous-era North America. She tussles with rival tyrannosaurs, hunts for delectable prey, and finds soft moments of connection in the forest. Even the most die-hard dinosaur fan will come away with a new perspective and appreciation for the Tyrant Lizard Queen" -- book jacket.
