7. A tyrannosaurus weighed as much as a killer whale, but was twice the size.

Answer: True

The killer whale, or orca, is a small whale, although it is the largest of the dolphins. Orcas are 21 to 23 feet long. T-rex was about 45 feet in length. Orca males weigh 7 - 10 tons and females 4-6 tons. T-rex was just over four tons.

8. The tyrannosaurus had a huge mouth with over 50 teeth.

Answer: True

9. Many paleontologists thought that the best explanation for the exinction of dinosaurs was caused by a huge flood.

Answer: False

Most experts think that it was due to a very large meteorite. We don't expect this to happen again for a very long time. Most asteroids are safely locked in orbit.

Answer: Seismosaurus

The lisboasaurus was very small. The alocodon was 3 feet long. The allosaurus was 30 to 40 feet long. Seismosaurus was 128 to 170 feet long. They all lived in the late Jurassic period about 145 to 164 million years ago.
