“By understanding the ecological forces at work, we have been able to show that scavenging was not a viable option for T.rex as it was out-competed by smaller, more abundant predatory dinosaurs,” said Dr Chris Carbone.
“These smaller species would have discovered carcasses more quickly, making the most of ‘first-come-first-served’ opportunities.” The study concluded that an individual T.rex would have roamed over large distances to catch its prey.
The research helps experts understand the behaviour of T.rex as a hunter. The research is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. (ANI)
