For the first time, an autopsy of the most complete T-Rex dinosaur

To answer all questions so far, scientists decided to conduct a first autopsy in history, on the most complete copy of the T-Rex dinosaur.

Examine the body of the most complete T-Rex dinosaur

The most notorious carnivorous dinosaur we know is the T-Rex , the full name is Tyrannosaurus Rex . Although we have uncovered many fossil skeletons of this dinosaur, we have recreated its image with digital graphics and on many science films. However, in reality, there are many things we still don't understand about this prehistoric giant predator .

For example, how can they hunt and eat meat with their very small arms, many even think that this dinosaur has feathers. Therefore, to answer all questions so far, scientists decided to conduct a first autopsy in history, on the most complete copy of the T-dinosaur. Rex.

The 14-meter T-Rex will be dissected into parts so we can better understand the internal structure.

This is a program made by National Geographic, which will be done in a special laboratory. Four scientists will perform autopsies on a 14-meter model of the T-Rex dinosaur , the size of an adult T-Rex.

For veterinary, biological and paleontological specialists, this 2-hour documentary on the T-Rex autopsy procedure will give viewers the most comprehensive view of a kind of extinct.

Scientists involved in this surgery will face a lot of difficulties, such as cutting through the hard and thick skin of the T-Rex, sawing huge ribs to be able to fully explore. internal organs.All the internal parts of the T-Rex will be simulated as well.

Experts will face challenges in sawing giant bones through their extinct animals, wading through the blood and even dealing with the overwhelming odor of its internal parts (Model of the left T-Rex heart of the photo)

The giant heart of T-Rex is simulated again.

The group of 4 participants in this special surgery included veterinary surgeon Luke Gamble, Dr. Tori Herridge, Dr. Steve Brusatte and paleontologist Matthew T. Mossbrucker. Dr. Herridge, who had previously performed surgery on a mammoth from the Ice Age, said, 'The opportunity to witness ancient creatures appear before the eyes with the most realistic details, understand. more clearly their structure for those who do not have the expertise and knowledge of ancient organisms is great. It is a new approach that is very interesting, useful and extremely impressive. '

' In the past, we only saw T-Rex on the screen, in movies. But now, you will be able to better understand this giant ancient predator. How are their structures, internal parts? Their way of moving and hunting. All will show up with a most realistic model, 'Dr. Herridge said.

This special science program will be broadcast on National Geographic channel.
