Dino Rescue Patients – Lizzie

Dino Patients Updated November 7, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022

Lizzie

(Tyrannosaurus Rex)
Size
40 Feet Long
Diet
Carnivores
Period
Late Cretaceous
Fun Fact
T-rex had 50 sharp teeth the size of bananas. It could chomp 500 pounds of dinosaur meat in one bite.

Dino Story

Lizzie was hunting when she became entangled in fencing and sustained an injury to her tail. Upon rescue, she was lethargic and struggling to move. The Rescue Team attempted to disentangle Lizzie but her injuries were too severe. Lizzie’s injury is similar to how North Atlantic right whales become entangled in fishing gear and struggle to survive.

Treatment Updates

Lizzie arrived at CMA’s Rescue Center and will be rehabilitated for the injuries she sustained.
