Tyrannosaurus wasn't the largest predatory dinosaur species - we know at least nine meat-eating dinosaur larger than him. However, it is Tyrannosaurus, who moves imagination of people and is depicted in thousands of books, movies and games. If you ask random person meet at the street about dinosaurs he or she knows, Tyrannosaurus will be first, if not only species mentioned. Tyrannosaurus became a symbol of dinosaurs.
I have impression, that Tyrannosaurus receives disproportionately much atttention, in comparison to other huge theropods. Why? Why not Carcharodontosaurus for example? For catchy name? Tyrannosaurus wasn't first huge predatory dinosaur to be discovered - Allosaurus, for example was discovered nearly thirty years before its.
