      After not doing much with my life I recently made the decision to go back to school in order to learn paleontology. It was my dream as a child, and now at 26 I know it's what I need to do. I'm using Kahn academy online to relearn everything from math to chemistry to biology, as well as some courses on Coursera. Once I get myself to a college level, I'm gonna try doing SNHU online.
      In short, if that is your dream, pursue it! It's never too late to make your life unimaginably better! I'll be rooting for you if you take the leap

    "Was T-Rex a scavenger?"
    Actually, that is a strange question, since most animals are opportunistic feeders. It would be very unwise, for any animal, to leave good food behind and only hunt live animals.
    Most, if not all animals, will eat the food, when it is presented to them, without having to hunt or search for it.
    T-Rex is big, fast, has a huge mouth, a tremendous bite force, excellent smell and 3D vision.
    Sounds like a hunter to me. Scavenging is just another method to get food.

      telescopereplicator agreed, most animals are smart enough to know not to risk getting injured and perhaps dying chasing down a moving,panicking sometimes bigger animal.
      They will settle for a carcass even if it is a few days old because they know the risk every time they get into hunt mode.

      along with its massive bite force, it can eat the bones due to being able to shatter them and pretty much get all the vitamins and minerals, so the T-rex is very much an opportunistic, be it hunting or scavenging, it was good at both.

    One of my favorite lecture of all time. Really drills down into what makes Tyrannosaurs some of the greatest dinosaurs to ever live. And although this is 3 years old at the point of posting this, but there is something currently disputed about it. Current consensus of feathers on Tyrannosaurus is that it's probably the case that juvenile Tyrannosaurus would have had an insulating coat of feathers, but it would have lost them partially or entirely over time. Although skin impressions of Tyrannosaurus have been rare and their coverage small, all of the impressions have been scaly. There has been bits of skin all over the head and small patches on the neck, the hips, the tail, and even the feet of adult Tyrannosaurus but each impression showed scales. There has been very little coverage as a whole, but the spread of scales across the body argue that rather than putting feathers where they aren't based on their ancestors, it would be more appropriate to assume the entirety of Tyrannosaurus was scaly. I love feathered Tyrannosaurs, with Nanuqsaurus being a favorite of mine. It was an Alaskan Tyrannosaur entirely covered in feathers; but the science supports a scaly Tyrannosaurus.
    Also, it's likely Tyrannosaurus has an incredible sense of smell, maybe one of the best of any animal. They possessed olfactory bulbs the size of grapefruit, which high estimates show it could have smelled carcasses up to 40 km away with the acuity of 100 bloodhounds. But that is still not proven. Regardless, it had the best sense of smell of any known dinosaur. Additionally, measurements of their brain case show an incredibly large brain relative to their enormous size and suggest intelligence comparable to a chimpanzee. Intelligence in animals can be generalize by brain to body size, as the bigger the body the more brain needs to be used to maintain and control it. Tyrannosaurus has a brain bigger than our own, albeit in a body 100x more massive. But considering the lack of brains of other dinosaurs, that is still impressive. Those would've been a good talking point in the lecture I would think. Tyrannosaurus wasn't just a brute of unrivaled strength and size, but was surprisingly keen in senses and brainy compared to just about any other large dinosaur.

In other words, they are at minimum 77 million years apart in time, while humans and T-Rexes are at minimum 65 million years apart. Allosaur bones were long fossilized rock when T-Rex first appeared.

      The keys as re 1. The teacher knows and understands the information well and therefore can present it in an understandable msnner.2.
      The teacher likes and is enthusiastic about the subject. This enthusiasm is contagious to the student. 3.
      The teacher demonstrates to the student why and how the information being presented is relevant to the student.
      I remember in undergrad school a teacher who taught accounting and oddly enough economic geography.
      That was in the late 60s.
      I was an accounting major and wondered how and why this wasca required subject.
      I was prepared to be bored out of my mind.
      After all I was a n accounting major.
      However the subject turned out to be fascinating.
      Want to know why the USXbecame a major regional and then world power?
      A MAJOR set of reasons lie in its position in the world I ts extensive navigable river system especially the Mississippi the coastlines providing deep water ports on 3 sides along with extensive iron ore and coal deposits along with huge easily accessed oil and gas deposits .
      And so forth.

    For anyone who doesn't know, the main guy who was making the "T Rex were scavengers" argument also openly disliked T Rex. The reason being that his favorite dinosaur was actually the american iguanadon (I think it has a different name now, but I forget it), but when he went out on expeditions to find it, he couldn't find any, and he just *kept finding T Rex fossils.* So he got a little petty and started using his doctorate to push the idea that T Rex was a big ugly lazy scavenger, despite the fact that he doesn't study the animal.

Regardless, even if Horner hadn't been so persistent, paleontologists would have still found the evidence that they have but wouldn't have given it a second thought since without Horner and T. rex was a scavenger, there would be no debate since there are very few land dwelling obligate scavengers and none are very large. As mentioned in this video, most carnivores are equal opportunists, they hunt when necessary but are not above a free meal or, in the case of lions, an easy meal from chasing off a smaller predator from theirs.

Videos here on YT seem to either propose one or the other possibility but never both. The signs were all there. Why is the interpretation of all the fossils so different compared to years ago?

      @ratchet12653 6 лет назад +9

      Some more extreme paleontologists have very negative views towards the media and the public's understanding of dinosaurs. This is mostly understandable as popular movies and even many documentaries greatly misrepresent dinosaurs. I think its for this reason, some jumped on the 't-rex is a scavenger' bandwagon in an effort to dethrone the most famous dinosaur as a predator, and prove to the public they were all wrong about the dinosaur they loved. While t-rex does have some adaptations which are similar to pure scavenging (bone crushing bite, great sense of smell), these are not exclusive to scavengers by any means (crocodiles are predators with both these traits).
      I think most reasonable paleontologists realised that T-rex couldn't have been exclusively a scavenger.

Usually when news gets a hold of a paper they don't actually read it and just make sweeping claims that everyone reads and no one ever bothers to go looking for the original source. At the time there was a theory Tyrannosaurus scavenged long dead carcasses as opposed to hunting live prey or scavenging fresh carcasses. It would have certainly hunted and scavenged fresh kills but its debatable whether it ate long dead carrion.

    ":...a very selective feeder..." That means it was NOT a scavenger primarily. Now, like any apex predator, like a lion, it might steal a kill from a smaller predator, but that is not scavenging. I believe scavengers would not be such picky eaters - they will eat whatever is left.
    Also, if it was primarily a scavenger -- what would it need speed for? Why would it need great eyes?? No, I think it was a hunter. Moreover, it was a hunter that ran its prey to ground, that is, NOT an ambush predator. More like wolves, than a cat.
