What Predators did the Tyrannosaurus rex have?

There once was a place on Earth so overrun with giant, meat-eating predators that even a Tyrannosaurus rex would have been nervous. One predator there was even bigger than T. rex, and scientists now say it’s apparently the only aquatic dinosaur ever found. The swimming monster is called Spinosaurus aegyptiacus.

Why was the T. rex so strong?

The fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex could generate tremendous bone-crushing bite forces thanks to a stiff lower jaw. That stiffness stemmed from a boomerang-shaped bit of bone that braced what would have been an otherwise flexible jawbone, a new analysis suggests.

How did the Tyrannosaurus rex defend itself?

To keep itself from overheating while crushing prey with its mighty jaws, the giant animal had vents in its head to help its brain stay cool, similar to those found in alligators. Tyrannosaurus rex was also adept at finding its prey thanks to a keen sense of smell.

What was the dinosaur that killed the T. rex in Jurassic Park 3?

Spinosaurus
A T. rex animatronic from the previous film was re-skinned for its appearance in Jurassic Park III. The Spinosaurus animatronic was so powerful that it ripped the head off of the T. rex during filming.

Did dinosaurs have any predators?

Answer: The actual predators of most dinosaurs are not known. To determine what dinosaurs a meat-eater ate is very difficult since the fossil record is all there is, and it is very incomplete. There are only a few ways of finding out about dinosaur predator/prey relationship, and they are all very rare.

How strong is a Tyrannosaurus rex?

rex’s bite, the result was “quite surprising,” Bates told us: a maximum bite force of almost 12,800 pounds, about the equivalent of an adult T. rex’s body weight (or 13 Steinway Model D concert grand pianos) slamming down on its prey. That would make T. rex the hardest-biting terrestrial animal ever known.

Was Trex a good parent?

rex parents were protective of their young as well. There is a surprising lack of juveniles in the fossil record. This could mean a number of things, and one of the theories is that most young T. rexes lived long enough to reach adulthood, which would have meant parental help and guidance.

Did the Spinosaurus eat the T Rex in Jurassic Park 3?

The T. rex had some of the largest teeth recorded of the meat-eating dinosaurs, reaching a huge 12 inches in length. In Jurassic Park 3, the Spinosaurus easily snaps the T. rex’s neck by clenching it tightly between its jaws.
