How did T. rex move, find food, and stay balanced? This adventurous children’s song imagines a plausible day in western North America about 68–66 million years ago, near the end of the Cretaceous. Young listeners discover how two strong legs, a raised tail, a keen sense of smell, and powerful jaws helped this meat-eater.
Text from the recording’s subtitles.
Song lyrics
Was bebt am Flussufer im Morgenlicht?
T. rex stapft durch den nassen Schlamm
Zwei starke Beine tragen sein Gewicht
Sein Rumpf bleibt fast waagerecht
Der hohe Schwanz hält das Gleichgewicht
Er hebt die Schnauze in den Wind
Der Futterduft führt ihn zwischen die Bäume
Wie kommt T. rex zu seinem Futter?
Zwei Beine tragen, seine Nase führt ihn
Wie löst er ein Stück Fleisch heraus?
Starke Kiefer halten, scharfe Zähne ziehen
Er folgt dem Duft durch Bäume und Farne
An Pfützen in der Ebene vorbei
Vor ihm liegt ein toter Pflanzenfresser
Wohl jagte er und fand auch tote Tiere
Heut hat der Wind ihn hierhergeführt
Wie kommt T. rex zu seinem Futter?
Zwei Beine tragen, seine Nase führt ihn
Wie löst er ein Stück Fleisch heraus?
Starke Kiefer halten, scharfe Zähne ziehen
Fest auf den Beinen hält er seinen Fund
Die starken Kiefer schließen sich darum
Gekrümmte Zähne, scharf am Rand, lösen Fleisch
Wie kommt T. rex zu seinem Futter?
Zwei Beine tragen, seine Nase führt ihn
Wie löst er ein Stück Fleisch heraus?
Starke Kiefer halten, scharfe Zähne ziehen
Zwei Beine hinterlassen Dreizehenspuren
Der Schwanz balanciert ihn; Nase führt; Kiefer packen
Language version lyrics
At dawn, what thumps beside the river?
T. rex strides through gleaming mud
Two sturdy legs support his weight
His body stays almost level
A raised tail balances each step
He lifts his snout into the breeze
A food scent points between the trees
How does T. rex reach his meal?
Two strong legs go where his nose leads
How does T. rex pull meat away?
Strong jaws grip; sharp-edged teeth pull
He follows through the trees and ferns
Past puddles shining on the plain
A dead plant-eater lies ahead
He likely hunted and found meals too
Today, the wind has led him here
How does T. rex reach his meal?
Two strong legs go where his nose leads
How does T. rex pull meat away?
Strong jaws grip; sharp-edged teeth pull
Firm on his legs, he grips the food
His powerful jaws close around it
Curved, sharp-edged teeth pull meat away
How does T. rex reach his meal?
Two strong legs go where his nose leads
How does T. rex pull meat away?
Strong jaws grip; sharp-edged teeth pull
Two legs leave three-toed tracks in mud
Tail steadies; nose seeks; strong jaws hold
