Daspletosaurus

The name or 'tyrant lizard king' would have been equally appropriate for Daspletosaurus. This terrifying preceded by ten million years, being top of the food chain in North America's vast flood plains 75 million years ago. A formidable , it was nine metres long and weighed as much as three tonnes.


Like the that were to follow, it relied on smell and hearing as much as sight. Bite marks in Daspletosaurus skulls suggest they fought each other over food, or in a group. A remarkable discovery of a group of Daspletosaurus near some raised some interesting questions. Did these tyrannosaurs or come together to on the carcasses?
