Tyrannosaurus rex
tearing apart a carcass while a flock of nervous herbivores skitter by in the
foreground. Tyrannosaurs were mostly small and unimportant for the better part
of their 100-million-year history. But in the final 20 million years of the
Cretaceous before the mass extinction, some species like T. rex reached outrageous size and fearsomeness.

Tyrannosaurus rex with
the Chicxulub asteroid hovering in the sky, moments before the catastrophic
impact that would have released, all at once, far more energy than all the
nuclear weapons ever detonated.
