[140] To sit down, Tyrannosaurus may have settled its weight backwards and rested its weight on a pubic boot, the wide expansion at the end of the pubis in some dinosaurs ...
Megaraptor head reconstruction based on the juvenile skull. The skull of Megaraptor is known from a single juvenile specimen, which preserves both premaxillae and maxillae, nasals, a left frontal, and a partial braincase. The premaxilla is fairly small and bears several large foramina, as in many tyrannosauroids.
The eye-sockets of T. rex faced mainly forwards, giving it good binocular vision. The eye-sockets of Tyrannosaurus are positioned so that the eyes would point forward, giving them binocular vision slightly better than that of modern hawks. While predatory theropods in general had binocular vision directly in front of their skull, tyrannosaurs ...
