Recent research has shown that Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex) is really a carnivorous dinosaur, not a scavenger, as people think.

Some scientists had previously considered Tyrannosaurus rex (T-rex) to be a scavenger dinosaur, not meat. But recent research has shown that T-rex is actually a carnivorous dinosaur.
Paleontologists have discovered T-rex's teeth dug into the tail of a plant-eating dinosaur that lived about 66 million years ago. This cleared up scientists' doubts and proved that T-rex was a predator.
David Burnham, a paleontologist at the University of Kansas, said: "It seems that the herbivorous dinosaur named Edmontosaurus has escaped the clutches of T-rex. In the animal's tail there is a missing bone, traces. "It was very close to the teeth of T-rex. We knew that the animal that survived the horrific attack was because the end of the tail bone was healed."
Further research, experts say, T-rex's sharp 15cm-long teeth with a hook-like structure will help it dig into the flesh, pull out and chew the dinosaurs' flesh. other.
Burnham said: "This is the first time we have concrete evidence that T-rex is really a carnivorous dinosaur, because before that, many people believed that T-rex only ate scavengers." .
The study is published in the journal of the American National Academy of Sciences.
