Mounted skeletons of different age groups, Los Angeles Natural History Museum. The feeding behaviour of Tyrannosaurus rex has been studied extensively. The well known attributes of T. rex (its jaws, legs and overall body design) are often interpreted to be indicative of either a predatory or scavenging lifestyle, and as such the biomechanics, feeding strategies and diet of Tyrannosaurus have ...
Scientists say this difference in feeding mechanisms ‘set them up to dominate life on land for millions of years to come’.
An asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, triggering a horrific mass extinction. New research that relied heavily on fossilized feces and vomit - evidence of who is eating what and who is ...
Quetzalcoatlus (/ k ɛ t s əl k oʊ ˈ æ t l ə s /) is a genus of azhdarchid pterosaur that lived during the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous in North America.
