The study also revealed that a juvenile Tyrannosaurus had a bite force of no more than 880 pounds force, or 3.9 kN, and that the bite became more powerful as the animal matured. This also supports the theory that juvenile Tyrannosaurus hunted different prey in a form of niche partitioning so as to avoid competition with the adults.
A study in 2012 by Karl Bates and Peter Falkingham found that Tyrannosaurus had the most powerful bite of any terrestrial animal that has ever lived, finding an adult Tyrannosaurus could have exerted 35,000 to 57,000 N (7,868 to 12,814 lbf) of force in the back teeth.
Scanning an endo cast from a Tyrannosaurus rex skull, scientists theorize that Tyrannosaurus rex had a brain similar to that of a modern-day alligator. Tyrannosaurus had nice vision, and a big sense of smell. Tyrannosaurus could bite through bone, at a bite force of at least four tons per square inch.
A juvenile T-Rex has a bite force of 5,641 newtons compared to the 35,000 newtons of a full-grown adult. Paleontologists use this information to confirmed juveniles do not crush bone but that comes with growth and development, advancing their bite power and strengthening their jaws.
The largest species was Tyrannosaurus rex, the most massive known terrestrial predator, which measured over 13 metres (43 ft) in length [2] and according to most modern estimates up to 8.87 metric tons (9.78 short tons) in weight. [3] [4] Tyrannosaurids were bipedal carnivores with massive skulls filled with large teeth. Despite their large ...
A rare fossil of an adolescent Tyrannosaurus rex has been excavated in North Dakota's badlands - a find noteworthy for the scientific insight it may offer into the life history of this famous ...
And one bite contains enough venom to k*ll 100 human beings. But on the flip side, only a few people have ever been bitten, and they were able to receive prompt medical care, so they all survived.
The largest non-avian theropod was Tyrannosaurus rex, estimated at 12.1-12.2 m (40 ft) in length and around 8–10.6 t (18,000–23,000 lb) in weight. [ 150 ] The largest thyreophoran was Ankylosaurus at 9 m (30 ft) in length and 6 t (13,000 lb) in weight.
