A toothy dis­cov­ery sug­gests the icon­ic di­no­saur Ty­ran­no­saur­us rex was a real hunt­er af­ter all—not a mere scav­en­ger, as some sci­entists have ar­gued. Sci­en­tists found a T. rex tooth crown found lodged in the tail bones of a plant-eating di­no­saur about 8 me­ters (26 feet) long. The an­i­mal was clearly alive at the time of the bite, as healed bone proves it sur­vived the at­tack, re­search­ers said: here.

The giant Tyrannosaurus rex pulverized bones by biting down with forces equaling the weight of three small cars while simultaneously generating world record tooth pressures, according to a new study: here.
