The Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs of all time. It’s played both hero and villain many times in pop culture, and it’s almost universally portrayed as a hulking brute of unimaginable power.

A T. rex specimen found in Canada is helping researchers nail down that last point. It’s the largest rex skeleton ever discovered, and it’s estimated that the animal that left the fossils behind weighed in at an extraordinary 19,500 pounds.
