Index
N2  - Tyrannosaurid Paleobiology highlights the far ranging and vital state of current tryannosaurid dinosaur research and discovery, addressing many fundamental questions about the life and habits of tyrannosaurs. Were they predators or scavengers? How smart was T. rex? How fas could tyrannosaurs run? Did they have stereoscopic vision? How did their shapes and habits change with growth? This volume confirms the wealth of new scientific information about these ever - fascinating creatures
