Sue was the subject of a 2000 educational computer game called I See SUE, which was published by Simon and Schuster Interactive. [57] Sue was featured in the Dresden Files book series book 7, Dead Beat, as being part of the Field Museum exhibits; the central character later uses Sue to ride into battle as a reanimated zombie T. rex.

The smallest non-avialan theropod known from adult specimens may be Anchiornis huxleyi, at 110 grams (3.9 ounces) in weight and 34 centimetres (13 in) in length, [36] although later study discovered larger specimen reaching 62 centimetres (24 in). [37] However, some studies suggest that Anchiornis was actually an avialan. [38]
The method used to calculate the mass in the latest study was the same for both of the specimens and the data shows that Scotty is heavier than Sue is. The latest study put Scotty's weight at an estimated 8,870 kg (9.7 tons) while Sue is estimated at 8,462 kg (9.3 tons) Sue has had similar results made on its weight in the past such as Scott ...

Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria." [1] In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. [2]
From measurements and based on the positions of the footprints, the animal was believed to be traveling at a walking speed of around 2.8 to 5 miles per hour and was estimated to have a hip height of 1.56 to 2.06 m (5.1 to 6.8 ft). [25] [26] [27] A follow-up paper appeared in 2017, increasing the speed estimations by 50–80%. [28]
The juvenile fossils’ estimated height is from about 0.7 to 1 metre (2 ft 4 in to 3 ft 3 in). Adults are believed to have been about three metres (9 ft 10 in) long. The estimated weight for an average adult of this species of dinosaurs is about 50 kilograms (110 lb).
Tyrannosaurus rex Sue is the largest known specimen of all, but the weight estimates are so conservatively low, in absolute. It is not only the largest T.rex but also a very massive animal and according to this article it weights about less than a large African elephant, Its immense bulk does not look from a 6.4 ton animal, It is a very ...
