Thats what it wants to hear, because that sound is gonna mean thats where lunch is. A battle with Triceratops is more often than not a fight to the death. This herbivore has evolved into a tank. Now, as a Tyrannosaur specialist, I dont like to admit

Tyrannosaurus Rex was of ten thousand pound, self-propelled, antitank weapon. Now, sixty five million years later, cutting-edge imaging technology lets us look deep inside their bodies to reveal just how the worlds greatest carnivores really work. Di

The jaws of T-Rex are infamous and lethal, housing sixty teeth with some as long as 30 centimeters. Its skull is constructed of 64 bones designed to be light but strong. Its 16 times stronger than the jaws of an alligator. The front teeth are dagger-

Triceratops protects itself with a bony shield called a frill. They can fend off an attacker with a pair of one-meter-long swords. Youve got to crush it. The only way to deal with this huge, curved, cantilevered, composite armor is a crushing blow wi

Its unlike any other creature that has walked the planet. T-Rex is different. Something about Tyrannosaurs and Tyrannosaurus Rex itself is different than other predatory dinosaurs. But for such a celebrated killer able to take on the toughest creatur

Sauroposeidon towers over Deinonychus. In fact, its mammoth size is its primary defense. But this giant begins life very small. For Deinonychus, Sauroposeiden would be a great meal, at least the juveniles, because there wouldve been lots of them and

And Sauroposeidon like most plant eaters are smelly. Unlike a meat eater, they produce huge amounts of waste, feces that form a trail marking everywhere theyve been. For Deinonychus, that odor is a dead giveaway. And this carnivores eyes can clearly

These Olympic capabilities come down to one simple anatomical feature, its tail. Half the length of its body, it acts like a built-in counterbalance. By flicking it from side to side, it can make a sharp turn at full speed. If you were to look at Dei

They are actually increasing their chance of getting a meal. Its a strategy still used today. Working together, lions will take on prey as big as a four-ton elephant, and they only have teeth and claws. Deinonychus employs an array of weaponry more p

Deinonychus instinctively knows to go for this giants weak spot, its neck. Youve got the windpipe there. Youve got the jugular vein, which if opened up will mean that that Sauroposeidon is dead meat. But death does not come quickly or pleasantly. For

Picture a living plane, and that gives you a sense of what Quetzalcoatlus would look like in life. And this is an animal that probably accelerates over 2.5Gs just on takeoff. Just beyond our comprehension. A Quetzalcoatlus is 10 times the weight of t

Attacking another T-Rex may seem like suicide, but a creature with such a voracious appetite has to find food by any means. Cannibalism is the rule. Its not the exception. If youre a carnivore and theres meat there, you take advantage of it. In fact,

Nothing this large would achieve powered flight until the 20th century, 65 million years later. And Quetzalcoatlus still may hold the record for flight duration. Probably stay aloft for a week. Probably it could have gone for 25, 26,000 miles in a si

I think that a big pterosaur on the ground wouldve been spooky because they would be moving around on all fours. Theyd probably have those sort of quick, precise movements like birds, but theyd be huge. Quetzalcoatlus lives by its own rules. Most mea

Other carnivores are even more dependent on cognitive thought. For protection, Deinonychus relies primarily on its brain. --The brain structure of Deinonychus and its role are just really quite remarkable. Relatively speaking, Deinonychus has one of

Mighty carnivores ruled a dangerous world in the Cretaceous Period. But being a super predator like Tyrannosaurus Rex is not easy. Just surviving to adulthood is a major feat, one that takes a decade or more of killing and eating some of the meanest
