| | Tyrannosaurus |
 | | While the Tyrannosaurus rex is posed as if it is stalking prey, we do not in fact know for sure whether meat-eating dinosaurs such as this were active hunters -- tracking down, attacking, and killing prey -- or scavengers, feeding on the carcasses of other dinosaurs. |
 | | While its huge jaws and its strong legs would certainly be forceful hunting weapons, Tyrannosaurus rex's arms were too short to reach its mouth, and its hands had only two fingers instead of three, making it unable to grasp. |
 | | In order to reassemble the Tyrannosaurus rex, a wide array of professionals, with skills ranging from vertebrate paleontology to metallurgical analysis, structural engineering, and flsmithing, was needed. |
