T
Rex Q & A
This part of the museum site is designed
as a catch all for ongoing dinosaur information. Instead of just
the typical dry stories you might expect to find we will try and
make it fun, like our museum. You could call this Frequently Asked
Questions here at the museum. No A to Z treatment here, just a bunch
of fun stuff and links only to exceptional sites. We are open for
suggestions. Contact us.
Carlos, Visitor from Nogales:
What was the Largest Meat -eating Reptile in the Sea?
Rexie:

at 50 feet long!
Madison, visitor from Tucson:
What was the smallest Dinosaur?
Rexie:
The smallest dinosaurs were just slightly larger
than a chicken and you've probably heard of them ...Compies, Compsognathus
(pretty jaw) was 3 feet long and probably weighed about 6 and
a half pounds
Dylan, visitor from Mesa:
Did dinosaurs talk to each other?
Rexie:
Dinosaurs didn't talk to each other the way you humans do, but there were ways sounds,
skin colors movement and even the shapes of their bodies and heads that dinosaurs could communicate emotions
and thoughts
From visitor Johnny from Tucson:
I collect stamps and especially dinosaur stamps. What information do you have on them?
Rexie:
Collecting dinosaur stamps is certainly a part of dinosaur lore. We are planning an
exhibition of stamps in the near future. Many of you may remember the most recent stamps put out just a couple
of years ago. James Guerney, the T Rex Museum, and the U.S. Post Office has teamed up to bring you this section.
Here is that story."
P.S. We sell the book that went with these
stamps in the museum gift store. It includes a full set of the
very hard to get stamps with it.
From Susan in Tucson:
I know it sounds funny, but I really like snakes and lizards. Were they around at the
same time as the dinosaurs?
Rexie
Lizards and crocodiles have been around from even
before we dinosaurs. Snakes came along after we had already dominated
the land. And they are still here while most of us have gone on
to dinosaur Heaven or as we call it Haven. Here
is information about where today's reptiles are thought to
have come from.
