User:Dinosaur Sammy

My name is Samuel Adrian Mucklow, but I am often nicknamed Sammy. I was born on the 26th of May 1997. I live in 2 Sukers Lodge, Beau Desert Golf Club, Rugeley Road, Hazelslade, Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, England, UK. My interests include dinosaurs and animals living today. My favourite animal of all time is the giant carnivorous theropod dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex, simply because many people around the world including my self consider it as the "ultimate predator". Measuring up to 12.8 metres (42 feet) in length, 4 metres (13 feet) in height and weighing around 6 tonnes, T. rex was one of the largest land carnivores ever to walk the Earth. Although slightly smaller than Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, Spinosaurus and Saurophaganax, new research into tyrannosaur bite force suggest that this creature had immensely powerful jaws, able to exert a crushing force of around 57,000 newtons, probably the equivelent of the force of a medium-sized elephant sitting down. Fossils of this spectacular predator are found in a variety of rock formations dating back to the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous Period, 67-65.5 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus was among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
