 Tyrannosaurus
Based on new research, however, Museum scientists determined that it was more accurate to show Tyrannosaurus rex mounted on two feet, in a stalking position, with its head low, tail extended, and one foot slightly raised.
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.
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.

Tyrannosaurus was first discovered in Hell Creek, Montana in 1902 by the paleontolgist Barnum Brown, who unearthed the fossil and took it to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City where another paleontologist, Henry Fairfield Osborn named it Tyrannosaurus rex and described this special dinosaur calling it "the pinnacle of dinosaur evolution."
Then in March 2005, a Tyrannosaurus thigh bone was reluctantly broken apart to make it lighter for a vehicle to carry only to reveal a soft tissue that bears a striking resemblance to an ostrich, which turns out to be possibly a medullary bone which is part of the dinosaur's reproductive system.

rex seems to have fed primarily on hadrosaurs (or duck-billed dinosaurs) that browsed the hardwood forests of North America during the late Cretaceous.
rex was primarily a scavenger of animals killed by other predators, noting its large olfactory (scent-detecting) bulbs, short and nearly useless forelimbs, and the relative proportion of its upper and lower leg bones -- which are not well suited to active pursuit.
rex as a lowly scavenger has not been popular with those dinosaur fans who very much want to believe it was "the most terrifying predator ever to walk the earth".
