Description: The theropod king of the dinosaurs! Tyrannosaurus was a monstrous animal that with its vast size and power, seldom needed to hunt. Most of its brain was dedicated to analysing scents, so it probably hunted like a crocodile - bite first, see if it is food after. Truly was this the apex predator of the time.
