Robin's Great Coloring Pages: T rex coloring pages including Juveniles & Hatching drawings

Welcome to my free coloring pages blog.

Today's new drawing is of T rex at a very bad time for hatching

because there is a volcano erupting nearby.

This kind of drawing is one of my favorites to draw for kids to color.

T rex Bad Time for Hatching

(Today's new drawing)

Tyrannosaurus rex was, from all evidence, a good parent... in fact, the mother and father may have mated tor life and both cared for the chicks. Yes, baby T rex are called chicks. After all, Theropod dinosaurs like T rex are closely related to birds. Some Theropods are the ancestors of birds. Tyrannosaurs were NOT ancestors to birds. When the asteroid or more correctly the meteorite hit the Yucatan peninsula the Tyrannosaurs became an evolutionary dead end. They went extinct without leaving any descendants.

In this rather simple drawing, the mother Tyrannosaurus rex is attending to her offspring but a volcano is suddenly erupting nearby. The mother will not be able to bring all her offspring if she feels she needs to flee the eruption because only one chick has hatched.

Tyrannosaurus rex was the last of the Tyrannosaurs. It was also the biggest and deadliest with a bite force in its jaws of almost 13,500 pounds. That is 60,000 Newtons. That is a lot of force. T. rex could bite right through the bones of prey species. It also was huge at up to 44 feet or 13.4 meters long. It also possibly weighed up to 18,000 lbs. Tyrannosaurus rex teeth were 1 inch or 30.4 cm long. The front teeth tended to be smaller because they were used to rip meat off the bone. The bigger teeth, further back in the mouth, were used to crush bone and flesh. T. rex might have eaten their prey, bones and all. I have a coprolite fossil from a Theropod, (maybe a .T. rex) and it has pieces of bone in it. Coprolite is fossilized dung.

NOTE: This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled Paleontology... then scroll down to the bottom of the Mesozoic section of the list to see this drawing's title. Click on the title and then you can print the drawing. Have fun coloring! One more thing... below are other T rex drawings from previous posts. These older drawings will be further up the list of printables. Some of these drawings were done rather fast and some were done with more detail.
