by time news

Paleontologists from the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology of Canada have explained why tyrannosaurs grabbed each other by the muzzles. According to scientists, this was done in the struggle for territory, females and higher status.

Previously, experts examined more than two hundred skulls and found a total of 324 tooth marks on them. They all belonged to animals of the same species and approximately the same size. Basically, such traces were found in adults.

Paleontologists have speculated that tyrannosaurs, reaching puberty, fought each other in order to take a leading position in the flock, assert the right to territory or reclaim a female. Modern animals also behave.

Research on Tyrranosaurus has recently been completed in Japan.

from the Institute for Dinosaur Research at the University of Fukui Prefecture discovered a complex system of nerves in the jaw of a Tyrex. It is more similar to that possessed by modern crocodiles and some species of birds, and is much more perfect than that of other dinosaurs. According to scientists, this allowed the Tyrrannosaurus to hunt more efficiently.
