In-game Information

Tyrannosaurus Rex! The most popular dinosaur in the world! A large and strong carnivore, it is an intimidating creature, with 80 heath, and a strong bite that lets it deal 20 HP of damage! Tyrannosaurus will wander around the world, being almost solitary hunters. However, they will occasionally flock in groups of 2, since that's as much as they tolerate. Any third Tyrannosaurus that is unlucky enough to cross paths with the pair will be attacked and presumably killed. They will also occasionally let out a mighty roar, and may even roar with their head raised, presumably communicating with any nearby Tyrannosaurus in the area. When hungry, Tyrannosaurus can eat meat from feeders, or hunt just about anything they find. When thirsty, Tyrannosaurus can drink water from nearby sources or from the rain. If a male and a female Tyrannosaurus encounter and are left undisturbed by any third Tyrannosaur, they will breed every now and then, laying 2-4 eggs per clutch. Tyrannosaurus is not imprintable (see Taming), because of its short temper and usually aggressive lifestyle.

Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning "king" in Latin), often called T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the most well-represented of the large theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus had a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous period, 68 to 66 million years ago. It was the last known member of the tyrannosaurids, and among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

JP Information

Tyrannosaurus Rex is a must-have for any ambitious park, but be careful, as this animal is not to be taken lightly! This dinosaur is large, strong, notoriously bad-tempered, and requires huge quantities of meat on a regular basis. These animals are fiercely territorial and mostly solitary, but have sometimes been known to stick together in mated pairs. These pairs are closely bonded, and will not usually separate unless there's not enough prey around to support both partners.

Housing

2019-08-24 23.29

In order to house a T.Rex, you will need a very large territory with a mix of forest and open country, surrounded by thick reinforced stone walls, high-security electric fencing, or immensely reinforced steel barriers. Habitat enrichment (specifically, live prey) is also essential, as these relatively intelligent dinosaurs get bored easily.

These dinosaurs WILL NOT tolerate other large carnivores in their territory, not even of a different species, and should therefore NEVER be kept in multi-species large dinosaur exhibits! That being said, they will happily tolerate very small scavengers like Procompsognathus, as they are too small to be considered prey.
