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 ...
Tyrannosaurus (/ t ɪ ˌ r æ n ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s, t aɪ-/) [a] is a genus of large theropod dinosaur.The type species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning 'king' in Latin), often shortened to T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods.
This sudden change in growth rate may indicate physical maturity, a hypothesis that is supported by the discovery of medullary tissue in the femur of an 18-year-old T. rex from Montana (MOR 1125, also known as "B-rex"). [51] Medullary tissue is found only in female birds during ovulation, indicating that "B-rex" was of reproductive age. [52]
This is a list of large carnivores known to prey on humans. The order Carnivora consists of numerous mammal species specialized in eating flesh. This list does not include animal attacks on humans by domesticated species (dogs), or animals held in zoos, aquaria, circuses, private homes or other non-natural settings.
Size of some small genera, compared to a human. Tyrannosauroids varied widely in size, although there was a general trend towards increasing size over time. Early tyrannosauroids were small animals. [3] One specimen of Dilong, almost fully grown, measured 1.6 meters (5.2 feet) in length, [4] and a fully grown Guanlong measured 3 meters (9.8 ...
A similar funerary practice that features excarnation can be found in Zoroastrianism; in order to prevent the pollution of the sacred elements (fire, earth, and water) from contact with decomposing bodies, human cadavers are exposed on the Towers of Silence to be eaten by vultures and wild dogs.

Model of a dinosaur egg. Dinosaur reproduction shows correlation with archosaur physiology, with newborns hatching from eggs that were laid in nests. [1] [2] Dinosaurs did not nurture their offspring as mammals typically do, and because dinosaurs did not nurse, it is likely that most dinosaurs were capable of surviving on their own after hatching.
