Tyrannosaurus in popular culture
''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is by far the most famous among the dinosaurs.〔 It has been frequently represented in film and on television, in literature, on the internet and on all kinds of games.
==General impact==
''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is unique among dinosaurs in its place in modern culture; paleontologist Robert Bakker has called it "the most popular dinosaur among people of all ages, all cultures, and all nationalities". From the beginning, it was embraced by the public. Henry Fairfield Osborn, the President of the American Museum of Natural History, billed it the greatest hunter to have ever walked the earth. He stated in 1905,〔John "Jack" Horner and Don "Dino" Lessem, ''The Complete T. Rex'' (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1993), pages 58–62〕
''Tyrannosaurus'' gained widespread public attention on December 30, 1905, when the ''New York Times'' hailed ''T. rex'' as "the most formidable fighting animal of which there is any record whatever," the "king of all kings in the domain of animal life," "the absolute warlord of the earth," and a "royal man-eater of the jungle."〔“Mining for Mammoths in the Badlands: How Tyrannosaurus Rex Was Dug Out of His 8,000,000 Year old Tomb,” ''The New York Times'', December 3, 1905, page SM1.〕 In 1906, ''Tyrannosaurus'' was dubbed the "prize fighter of antiquity" and the "Last of the Great Reptiles and the King of Them All."〔"The Prize Fighter of Antiquity Discovered and Restored," ''The New York Times'' December 30, 1906, page 21.〕
In 1927, Charles R. Knight painted a mural incorporating ''Tyrannosaurus'' facing a ''Triceratops'' in the Field Museum of Natural History,〔(“Charles Knight: Prehistoric Visions of a Beloved Muralist” ) 2002 Field Museum, In the Field article by Alexander Sherman〕 establishing the two dinosaurs as enemies in popular thought;〔 paleontologist Phil Currie cites this mural as one of his inspirations to study dinosaurs.〔 Bakker said of the imagined rivalry between ''Tyrannosaurus'' and ''Triceratops'', "No matchup between predator and prey has ever been more dramatic. It’s somehow fitting that those two massive antagonists lived out their co-evolutionary belligerence through the very last days of the very last epoch of the Age of Dinosaurs."〔Bakker, R.T. 1986. ''The Dinosaur Heresies''. New York: Kensington Publishing, p. 240. On that page, Bakker has his own ''T. rex''/''Triceratops'' fight.〕
