Species: Tyrannosaurus Rex

**Tyrannosaurus rexes** are the fourth species of animal available in the Jurassic island and the Space Zoo. Tyrannosaurus rexes are primarily eating animals, but are also smashing animals. There are 11 different types of tyrannosaurus rex. Like all Space Zoo animals, more tyrannosaurus rexes are unlocked progressively as the player upgrades the tyrannosaurus rex habitat. They can be unlocked when the player upgrades their ship to Jurassic 2.

## Behaviour

* **Wild:** Tyrannosaurus rexes run up behind the player at a quick pace (but slower than any running or flying animal) in an attempt to eat them. If they miss or are evaded, they slow down, although if they come into contact with the player's animal, they are eaten.
* **When ridden:** Tyrannosaurus rexes move about as fast as in the wild, with the ability to eat animals and smash rocks, trees and passes.
* **When angry:** Tyrannosaurus rexes slow down, buck the player off and then eat them, before promptly falling asleep.
* **In habitat:** They mostly walk around, turning their heads to the side from time to time.
	+ **Selected in habitat:** They give out a long roar and move their heads while doing so.

## Tips

Tyrannosaurus rexes are invincible to everything except for cliffs, walls, central rocks and volcanic rocks. They make good short distance carriers, although they get angry very quickly. If the player sees a tyrannosaurus rex behind them, they can move away when the tyrannosaurus rex is close behind them to dodge the bite. The player can also jump off the animal they are riding while facing straight ahead, as the tyrannosaurus rex’s fast pace allows it to catch up to the player's lasso, and the player can lasso and ride it. When riding a tyrannosaurus rex, the player is recommended to try and eat as many animals as possible to extend the time during which they can stay on it without it becoming angry. Also, when a wild tyrannosaurus rex is hit by a volcanic rock, the "corpse" of the tyrannosaurus rex is still able to eat the player if the corpse flies towards them, so the player must be wary of this.

## Notes

* Tyrannosaurus rexes were released in version 1.8.0 on the 18th of May 2017 along with Jurassic, the Space Zoo and the other species making up the first seven released in Jurassic.
	+ Like all other original Jurassic species, tyrannosaurus rexes were bugged in that even if the player had not yet unlocked the required level to unlock a regular animal, they could still find all tyrannosaurus rexes from level 0 upon release.
		- This was fixed in version 1.9.0 on the 22nd of June 2017.
