Paleontologists can tell thatT rex’s jaw muscles were extremely powerful from the way they were fixed to its skull. The skull and jaws too were built for strength.T. rexwould have been able to crush bones–even the thick leg bones of other dinosaurs. As always, clues as toT Rex’s a...
With the evidence presented in his documentary, Homer was able to prove that the idea of the T-rex as being a hunting and ruthless killing machine is probably just a myth. In light of the scientific clues he was able to unearth, the T-rex was a slow, sluggish animal which had poor v...
The T-rex’s teeth were huge, sharp at their tip, but blunt, propelled by enormous jaw muscles, which enabled them to only crush bones.With the evidence presented in his documentary, Horner was able to prove that the idea of the T-rex as being a hunting and ruthless killing machine is...

rex. Few victims escaped its mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, each as long as a steak knife. The jaws were clamped together using enormously powerful jaw muscles. The teeth at the front of the upper jaw were closely packed. The remaining teeth were robust, like “bananas” rather than ...
The study published in the latest edition of the Anatomical Record showed that the two large holes at the roof of T. rex skull, previously believed filled with muscles to aid jaw movements, were not wholly muscular but instead housed vascular tissues that helped T. rex regulate its temperature...
rex, the researchers say. Specifically, the researchers found that Raptorex was equipped with tiny forelimbs, long legs for quick running, powerful jaw muscles, an oversized head relative to its torso, and enlarged olfactory bulbs suggesting an expert sense of smell — all hallmarks of its ...
show off the gator's bite, which was fun for the audience. But it also meant we could explain or reference the unusual shape of tyrannosaur teeth, the size and shape of their heads, the attachment sites for the jaw muscles, and the evolutionary relationship between crocodilians and dinosaurs...
