The results were striking. Giant tyrannosaurids such as T. rex had skulls optimized for extraordinary bite forces, even if that meant enduring more stress. Other lineages, like the allosauroids and ...

The teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex have been called "killer bananas," and a new study in the journal Scientific Reports shows just how hard those fearsome chompers could clamp down. "What we came up with ...

Revolutionary new research has shattered long-held assumptions about dinosaur predation strategies, revealing that Tyrannosaurus rex’s bone-crushing bite force was just one of several successful ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Tyrannosaurus subdued prey with raw power, using bone-crushing bite force. But other meat-eating dinosaurs that rivaled T. rex in size used different approaches. Giganotosaurus ...

A comprehensive new analysis of the bite forces of 18 species of dinosaurs has revealed that, despite their size, several of the giant prehistoric predators packed much weaker bites than previously ...

NEW YORK — The Tyrannosaurus rex is often shown baring massive, sharp teeth, like the ferocious creature in “Jurassic Park.” But new research suggests that this classic image might be wrong. The teeth ...

What’s that, T. rex? You say you have the strongest bite ever? Well, the ancestors of the crocodile might have something to say about that — and some modern ones ...

Why T. rex was different Tyrannosaurids had stiff, akinetic skulls—meaning the joints allowed almost no movement. Combined with deep skulls, thick bone, and massive jaw muscles, this design produced ...

Tyrannosaurus rex jaws generated 8,000-pound bite forces and let the creature eat everything from duck-billed dinosaurs to triceratops. The teeth of Tyrannosaurus rex have been called "killer bananas, ...
