JURASSIC PEROID

Answer 1

Animal: Tyrannosaurus rex

Diet: Tyrannosaurus rex was a carnivore, primarily eating large herbivorous dinosaurs such as Triceratops and hadrosaurs, as well as scavenging on carcasses when the opportunity arose.

Habitat: Tyrannosaurus rex inhabited floodplains and forests in what is now western North America. This habitat provided an environment rich with food sources and opportunities for hunting, as well as some cover for ambushing prey.

Fossil Description and Locations: Fossils of Tyrannosaurus rex are characterized by large, robust bones, including a massive skull with sharp teeth adapted for gripping and tearing flesh. Fossils have been discovered in various locations across the western United States, particularly in Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota, as well as parts of Canada. Notably, sites such as the Hell Creek Formation have yielded numerous T. rex fossils.
