And then you have the Spinosaurus That was generally rather weird, “says Rowe.” There was a study by Dave Hone and Tom Holtz about how it was waiting for the coasts, waiting for food that it could fish. ' But Spinosaurus' Foraging was not limited to fishing. A pterosaurus was found in his stomach and Iguanodon -remains were found in the maw of one BaryonyxAnother large carnivore that belongs to the same descent as the Spinosaurus. “They had a great diversity in their diet. They were generalists, but our results show that they were not these massive bone-creaking predators like the T. Rex“Says Rowe. Because the T. Rex Was built just differently.
King of the chalk -like jungle
The Tyranosaurodea The origin had stiff, antical skulls, which means that they had very little mobility in the joints. The T. Rex Skull was and most likely was resistant to very high stress, because the animal pursued a “high stress, high power” strategy, completely different from other large carnivores. “They were very much on large crocodiles with extremely strong, fortified jaws and powerful muscles that could pulverize bones,” Rowe claims.
The T. RexHe argued, was a specialist – an obstacle predator that attacked large, very mobile prey, with the aim of subjecting it with a single bite. “And we have fossil proof of that,” says Rowe. “There is one in the Museum of Natural History in New York HadrosaurA large herbivore dinosaur with a uniform mouth and there is one T. Rex Tooth embedded in his back. 'This, he thinks, it means T. Rex Was actively hunting this animal, especially since there are healing signs around the stuck tooth. “Even with this super strong bite, the T. Rex Was not always successful, “adds Rowe.
Yet the fight with the Spinosaurus would probably not go like in Jurassic Park III. “The T. Rex was built to fight like that; the Spinosaurus Really not, “says Rowe.
