Answer:
- What is the name of your chosen organism?
The name of my organism is the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- When and how did your organism go extinct?
It is hypothesized the Tyrannosaurus Rex went extinct approximately 65 million years ago when a meteor hit the earth.
- Could anything have been done to prevent their extinction?
We couldn't have done anything about this. A meteor is a rocky or metallic body in outer space. Meteors are smaller than asteroids. If we could go back in times then we could try the following:
One way to deflect an asteroid is to change its speed. If an asteroid is travels at 10 km per second, you could reduce its speed by 2 mm per second would be enough to possibly deflect it. Since asteroids are normally very large, changing its speed even a little can make it change course.
- Where did your organism live, what was its natural habitat?
The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and Asia. Their habitats were in forests with plant-eating dinosaurs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a huge carnivore and primarily ate herbivorous dinosaurs, including Edmontosaurus and Triceratops. The predator found its food through scavenging and hunting. It grew incredibly fast and ate hundreds of pounds at a time.
- Describe the features of the organism, and include a photo
The T-Rex was tall and stood on 2 legs. The other legs were usually up off the ground for eating its prey. I had really sharp teeth for eating meat.
