I sort of like the name Dynamosaurus imperiosus to be honest.


The thought of an armoured T.rex is sort of scary. :eek:

Why would a predator of that type need to evolve armour? What the hell ate T.rex


Actually, I wonder if there was anything that competed with T.rex successfully.

Considering how T-Rex's bite was powerful enough to crush bones, armor and Triceratops frills, I think armor would be completely useless against its own kind...

Maybe so that this wouldn´t happen?

To this moment it appears that its dominion was absolute. Even if Nanotyrannus was a real animal, it would be too small and too rare (apparently) to be an important competitor...
