Drag to rotate the Tyrannosaurus rex, scroll or pinch to zoom, and click a body part - the head, tail, or a leg - to read what fossils tell us about it. The panel beside the model carries the real figures.
A Tyrannosaurus rex stood about 3.7 m tall at the hips and stretched roughly 12.3 m from snout to tail - turn on the human figure to see how far a person's head would reach.
The colors and skin here are an artistic reconstruction; fossils preserve bone, not soft tissue or color. The measurements in the panel are the real published ones.
Tyrannosaurus rex 3D Viewer
This page renders a Tyrannosaurus rex as a 3D model you can spin in the browser: drag to rotate, pinch to zoom, add a 1.8 m person for scale, and click a body part for a fact.
Tyrannosaurus rex lived in the Late Cretaceous, roughly 68-66 million years ago, in western North America - about 12.3 m long, 3.7 m tall at the hips, weighing near 8.9 tonnes, with around 60 serrated teeth up to 20 cm long.
The first named skeleton was described in 1902 from a Montana find by Barnum Brown. The model shows its short two-fingered arms and heavy, head-balancing tail.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big was Tyrannosaurus rex?
About 12.3 m long and 3.7 m tall at the hips, with weight estimates near 8.9 tonnes. Turn on the human figure in the viewer to see the scale against a 1.8 m person.
Is the model scientifically accurate?
The proportions follow the fossil skeleton, but the skin color and texture are an artistic reconstruction - fossils preserve bone, not soft tissue or color. The length, weight, and age figures shown are real published values.
When and where did T. rex live?
In the Late Cretaceous, roughly 68 to 66 million years ago, in what is now western North America. The first named skeleton was described in 1902 from a Montana find.
Do I need to install anything to view it?
No. The model renders in your browser with WebGL - no app, no account, and nothing about your visit is sent to a server. The 3D engine loads once and is then cached.
