The Ultimate Guide (5/5) TYRANNOSAURUS REX

"The Ultimate Guide: TYRANNOSAURUS REX" is a documentary that was aired in 1996 and is part of the "Ultimate Guide" series which also includes episodes on other animals. It combined various information from famous paleontologists and public imagination to create an insight look at the "Tyrant Lizard King."

The show begins with the history of Tyrannosaurus and how it was discovered by Barnum Brown. It then moves into other categories about Tyrannosaurus such as: family history, feeding habits, whether it's a predator or scavenger, fossil evidence, parental instincts, and its extinction.

I'd like to know how those who support the scavenger theory can explain the markings on T-Rex bones that come from a Triceratops. It is obvious that those scars could only come from wounds the T-Rex suffered while fighting with a Triceratops.

It's a no-brainer!

the proof that t-rex hunted is in this video!

[irvinemuscles]

@headoyster You're right. Screw these bozos. T-rex would of hunted and killed them with ease.

[irvinemuscles]

T-Rex was a hunter, no doubt about it. It killed what it wanted.

what brand of toothpaste does this t rex use? his teeth are so clean and white!!!! even better than mine!

jack horner u faget

IMO Parasaurolophus or Edmontosaurus are very interesting animals. So if Horner feels fond with them, cool. But Daspleto, Drypto or Rex are distant animals, so if he haven't studied them THAT much as ornithopods, why does he claim to be so sure about Rex's killing method? Anyway, my fascination for tyrannosaurids ends with the asian Alectrosaurus, so I give a f*ck about this predator-scavenger debate. Call me when you talk about Giganotosaurus <3

[headoyster]

These guys are idiots! Here they are arguing over scavenger/hunter theories, yet in this doco itself is clear video footage of the t rex hunting. What's wrong with these guys? I thought they were smart. I am so smart: s. m. r. t.

@daverowbotham what horner had seemed to forget is that, in movie industries, you just cannot screw off the main star of the whole serie without having a worldwide angry mob that want hang the filmakers with their own bowels! )8D...........ok no, that was a bit too much XP

Poor joe...he just followed naughty jackie's indications...and he has been blamed as the ideator of the spino thing! XD

The "real t-rex" has been always "safe"....the "movie one" must still be restored :)

[Dour888]

@daverowbotham However, despite his intentions with the whole scavenger theory were far from be nefariuos, i still think he abused his influence as jp3 paleo-consulent for impose the vision that he like more over the scientific one.

Don't get me wrong, even in this frangent i don't think he was malicious, i cannot know wtf happened in those pre jp3 days, but i think he just thinked: "hey...is just a film with a LOT of paleo-errors alreday, at this point why i should still care? LET'S HAVE FUN"

[Dour888]

@daverowbotham I've researched more about him and i've discovered that his iconoclastic tendecies where just a positive provocation to always see things by your own mind witouth "fossilizing" (perfect term huh? XD) on DOGMAS.

Predator t-rex was just one the strongest dogmas, and THAT'S why he choosed it as the main taget.

The fact this dogma has been proven to be effectively true dosen't matter for jack's purpose, the very fact that the whole question has been pointed out was already a victory

[daverowbotham]

@Cissy2cute The scavenger theory is falsified...
