As one of the most iconic dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex is feared and loved in equal measure. Although some carnivores exceeded them in size, T-rex still grew to a height of over 5 metres tall and 15 metres from nose to tail. T-rex are famous for their unusually small forearms, however the reason behind these tiny limbs is a highly contested mystery. Some scientists suggest they may be vestigial while others believe that studies of the fossil record and possible musculature suggested that these limbs were actually considerably strong and may have been used to hold struggling prey or to help the dinosaur rise from a lying position.
