Sue, the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found, is shown at the Field Museum of Natural History May 17, 2000, in Chicago. A study of the reptile's growth pattern in the Thursday, Aug. 12, 2004, issue of the journal Nature says the teenage T. rex typically went through an explosive growth spurt, gaining nearly five pounds a day. During that spurt, from ages 14 to 18, the creature picked up most of its eventual adult weight of around six tons, new research indicates. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)
