Due to the overrepresentation of this genus in popular culture, it can be easy to forgot all that makes it unique: Tyrannosaurus had the largest teeth of any known dinosaur, as well as the most powerful bite of any terrestrial creature that has ever lived. Tyrannosaurus was also one of the few dinosaurs with binocular vision and had an excellent sense of smell.
