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
O que faz a beira do rio tremer?
T. rex pisa a lama que reluz
Duas pernas fortes sustentam seu peso
Seu corpo segue quase horizontal
Cauda erguida mantém o equilíbrio
Ergue o focinho na direção do vento
O cheiro o guia por entre as árvores
Como o T. rex chega ao alimento?
Duas pernas seguem, o faro conduz
Como ele puxa um pedaço de carne?
Mandíbulas prendem, dentes afiados puxam
Segue o cheiro por árvores e samambaias
Passa por poças calmas na planície
Adiante, um herbívoro já morto
Talvez caçasse ou achasse alimento
Hoje o vento o trouxe até aqui
Como o T. rex chega ao alimento?
Duas pernas seguem, o faro conduz
Como ele puxa um pedaço de carne?
Mandíbulas prendem, dentes afiados puxam
Firme nas pernas, segura o achado
Mandíbulas fortes fecham ao redor
Dentes curvos, cortantes, puxam a carne
Como o T. rex chega ao alimento?
Duas pernas seguem, o faro conduz
Como ele puxa um pedaço de carne?
Mandíbulas prendem, dentes afiados puxam
Duas pernas deixam rastros de três dedos
Cauda, faro e mandíbulas ajudam
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
