Tyrannosaurus rex (ARTICLENAME) is a theropod dinosaur that lived at the end of the Cretaceous period.

In Prehistoric Park
While in Cretaceous Montana, Nigel had planned to rescue a family of Tyrannosaurs. After witnessing a attack on a herd of Triceratops, Nigel spent the rest the first episode, following a female Tyrannosaurs that had been injured during the attack.

Later on in the episode, Nigel uses a Flock of Ornithomimus as bait to lure her through the Time Portal. Accidently, Nigel ends up with a flock of Ornithomimus returning to the Park, instead of his original target. Before the flock escaped, the female was able to grab and kill one Ornithomimus. When, instead of eating it, the female turns and begins to walk up hill, Nigel begins to think that female is going somewhere precise. Soon, his hunch is right, and the female unknowingly leads him to her two hatchlings, which are later named Terrence and Matilda.

Nigel though, soon witnesses a Male Tyrannosaur enter the scene, and begin to fight the female over the dead Ornithomimus. The Male wins and the Female collapses in front of Nigel and her Children. Almost immediately after there is a flash in the sky, and the K.T Meteorite smashes into Cretaceous Earth. Just in the nick of time, Nigel is able to rescue the Dead Mothers Children and return to Prehistoric Park. (T-rex Returns) <-use episode titles like this

Whilst living in the Park, Terrence and Matilda quickly grow and become much more aggressive, much to the delight of the Prehistoric Park Staff. Bob Arthur, in practically gets annoyed by the Tyrannosaurs rapidly increasing diet, which doesn’t help the fact that the animal’s savior, Nigel Maven, refuses to tell Bob anything about their diet, much to his own pleasure. Soon, the Tyrannosaurs get a permanent diet of Ox and Cow meat. (A Mammoth Undertaking)

During a Heat wave in the Park, Terrance and Matilda quickly get on each other’s nerves, resulting in constant fighting. As a short time solution to this problem, Bob drenches the two in 20 gallons of Water every time they begin to act up. However, shortly after this solution is put in place, Bob came up with a better idea; to separate the two via fence. So, a dividing wall was built between the exhibits to keep the two from fighting. (Dinobirds)

Later on in the Series, the two Tyrannosaurs are almost fully grown, and just as aggressive as their mother. During a rampage, Matilda shows her true power and breaks the fence down separating herself from her younger Brother, Terrance. Matilda, treating Terrance as a threat to her territory, quickly attacks him, giving him a large gash leading from his jaw down to his should and then pinning him to the ground. Second’s before she kills her rival, Nigel enters the scene and lures her deeper into the enclose, where she is then shot down with a tranquilizer. Terrance was later given antibiotics by Suzanne McNabb, and barely escaped with his life. During surgery, he regains conciseness and goes on a rampage through the Vet's Surgery, much to the delight of Nigel and Suzanne. (The Bug House (Episode))

During the Mass Break-Out, a panicked Titanosaurus broke down the paddock wall that kept Matilda contained, allowing her to roam around the Park. Matlida, acting on instinct, went after the Park’s Ornithomimus flock, which had also escaped. Bob unknowingly provided a distraction for the Ornithomimus, narrowly avoiding getting eaten himself. Still without her meal, Matilda changes for target for the Park’s Herd of Elephant Matriarch. She soon arrives in Mammoth Mount and quickly separates the Park’s only baby Elephant from every member of the herd, except for one. Marth the mammoth throws herself between the Tyrannosaur and the Baby, risking her life to protect it. She is soon able to fight Matlida off, with the help of Nigel that is. Now, Matlida’s attention is on Nigel, whom she case’s through Triceratops Creek and the Main Complex, before Nigel lured her to the new Deinosuchus paddock. The Deinosuchus, who fought Theropod Dinosaurs on a regular basis whilst in the Cretaceous, erupts from the water and lunges for Matlida. This attack gives Nigel the chance to speed up, before Matlida is back on his tail. He leads Matlida to the Time Portal, where she is then contained in a Holding Pen. Her Paddock is later rebuilt and she is returned. (Supercroc)

Description
(copied from Wikipedia merely as example - please do not actually do this)

Tyrannosaurus ( or ; meaning "tyrant lizard", from Greek tyrannos (τύραννος) meaning "tyrant," and sauros (σαῦρος) meaning "lizard") is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning "king" in Latin), commonly abbreviated to T. rex, is a fixture in popular culture. It lived throughout what is now western North America, at the time an island continent termed Laramidia, with a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age of the upper Cretaceous Period, 67 to 65.5 million years ago. It was among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to the large and powerful hindlimbs, Tyrannosaurus forelimbs were small, though unusually powerful for their size, and bore two clawed digits. Although other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it was the largest known tyrannosaurid and one of the largest known land predators, the most complete specimen measuring up to 12.3 m in length, up to 4 m tall at the hips, and up to 6.8 MT in weight. By far the largest carnivore in its environment, Tyrannosaurus rex may have been an apex predator, preying upon hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, although some experts have suggested it was primarily a scavenger. The debate over Tyrannosaurus as apex predator or scavenger is among the longest running in paleontology.

More than 30 specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex have been identified, some of which are nearly complete skeletons. Soft tissue and proteins have been reported in at least one of these specimens. The abundance of fossil material has allowed significant research into many aspects of its biology, including life history and biomechanics. The feeding habits, physiology and potential speed of Tyrannosaurus rex are a few subjects of debate. Its taxonomy is also controversial, with some scientists considering Tarbosaurus bataar from Asia to represent a second species of Tyrannosaurus and others maintaining Tarbosaurus as a separate genus. Several other genera of North American tyrannosaurids have also been synonymized with Tyrannosaurus.

Behind the Scenes/Trivia
Actual behind-the-scenes info from "Making of"?
 * Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most famous Dinosaur of all time.
 * The Names, Terrance and Matlida, where inspired by Nigel's Parents.
 * During the Mass Break-Out, the orginal plan was for Matlida to be smaller, and for her to jump on Martha's head, before Nigel threw a stone at her, causing her to chase him.
