Tyrannosaur's Last Meal: A Rare Glimpse into its Diet

Scientists have discovered the last meal of a 75-million-year-old tyrannosaur, revealing that it had consumed two baby dinosaurs. The fossil, belonging to a juvenile gorgosaurus, provides solid evidence that tyrannosaurs changed their diet as they grew. While adult tyrannosaurs were indiscriminate eaters, hunting large plant-eating dinosaurs, the juvenile gorgosaurus hunted small, young dinosaurs. The fossil also highlights the different feeding strategies between juveniles and adults, with the juvenile gorgosaurus selectively dissecting its prey. This finding sheds new light on the predatory behavior and development of tyrannosaurs.
