Artwork of a feathered tyrannosaurus
Artwork of feathered tyrannosaurus. T rex was an apex predator of the Late Cretaceous period, living in the last 2 million years of that time (68-66 million years ago). It had the strongest bite of any known dinosaur, more than enough to puncture bone. Its arms, though small, were well muscled and it may have used them to grasp prey during a kill. Its main method of attack was an ambush. It would run at the prey with its mouth agape and inflict a crushing bite. Estimates for its speed vary widely but its unlikely it could run much faster than 10-25 mph because it would require far bigger leg muscles than it possessed. It probably fed on triceratops, edmontosaurus and similar animals. There is no firm proof that it had feathers, but dinosaurs closely related to it, from which is descended, definitely did have primitive feathery integuments, so its plausible that T rex had them too

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artwork of a feathered tyrannosaurus, depicting the apex predator of the Late Cretaceous period. The mighty T rex roamed the Earth during the last 2 million years of that era, approximately 68-66 million years ago. Renowned for its unrivaled strength, this fearsome creature possessed the most powerful bite among all known dinosaurs, capable of puncturing even bone. Although its arms were relatively small in comparison to its massive body, they were impressively muscular and may have been used to grasp prey during a kill. Employing an ambush strategy as its primary method of attack, this formidable predator would sprint towards its unsuspecting victims with jaws wide open before delivering a devastating crushing bite. While estimates regarding its speed vary considerably, it is unlikely that T rex could run much faster than 10-25 mph due to limitations imposed by its leg muscles. Triceratops, edmontosaurus, and similar animals are believed to have constituted their main source of sustenance. Though concrete evidence is lacking regarding whether T rex had feathers or not, close relatives from which it descended indisputably possessed primitive feathery integuments. Henceforth, it is plausible that these magnificent creatures also flaunted such adornments. Captured beautifully by Mark Garlick from Science Photo Library's remarkable collection on paleoart and palaeontology; this stunning artwork transports us back in time to witness nature's awe-inspiring wildlife in all its prehistoric glory.
