A t-rex skeleton looks like (1) and an emu skeleton looks like (2). Emu legs looks like (3). So, question. Why do we think t-rex had legs like (4)?

"Palaeontologists in Thailand have identified one of the first tyrannosauroid fossils in southeast Asia. The discovery has excited researchers because so few specimens from the Late Jurassic epoch, around 150 million years ago, have been found in the region, in part owing to a lack of resources."

New Plant-Eating Dinosaur Unveiled: Vectidromeus insularis https://www.sci.news/paleontology/vectidromeus-insularis-12266.html
#Vectidromeus insularis, a new hypsilophodontid #dinosaur from the Lower #Cretaceous #Wessex Formation of the #IsleOfWight, England https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667123002355
"This dinosaur was slightly bigger than a chicken and was a type of hypsilophodontid (Hypsilophodontidae), a group of nimble, bipedal #herbivores that lived alongside early #tyrannosaurs, #spinosaurs, and #Iguanodon."
#Fossils of Two New Abelisaurid #Dinosaurs Uncovered in #Morocco https://www.sci.news/paleontology/moroccan-abelisaurid-dinosaurs-12207.html
New fossils of #Abelisauridae (#Dinosauria: #Theropoda) from the upper #Maastrichtian of Morocco, North Africa https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0195667123002057
"The two new #dinosaur species lived approximately 66 million years ago and had short, bulldog snouts and very short arms. They belonged to Abelisauridae, a family of #carnivorous dinosaurs that were counterparts to the #tyrannosaurs of the northern hemisphere."

Tiny #tyrannosaurs used the buddy system: Fossil trackways may show tyrannosaur tykes teaming up https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/tiny-tyrannosaurs-used-the-buddy-system/ by Riley Black
A busy time at the beach: multiple examples of gregarious #DinosaurBehaviour inferred from a set of trackways from the Late #Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10.1139/cjes-2021-0069
The newfound tracks hint that #hatchlings formed groups after leaving the nest, similar to some herbivorous #dinosaurs—as well as living #crocodiles and large ground #birds.
Newly-Discovered Tyrannosaur Species Fills Gap in Lineage Leading to #Tyrannosaurus rex
https://www.sci.news/paleontology/daspletosaurus-wilsoni-11424.html Paper: https://peerj.com/articles/14461/
“#Daspletosaurus wilsoni displays a mix of features found in more primitive #tyrannosaurs, like a prominent set of horns around the eye, as well as features known from later members (including T. rex), like a tall eye socket and expanded air-pockets in the skull. The new species is a half way point between older and younger tyrannosaur species.”
Dinozorlar, yaklaşık 230 milyon yıl önce tarih sahnesine çıktı ve 66 milyon yıl önce yok oldu. Dinozorlarla ilgili bir sorun, çoğunluğunun etçil olduğunu düşünmemiz. Ancak durum tam olarak böyle değil; dinozorların beslenme diyetleri farklılık gösteriyor. Modern…

Finally got around to read this. I love my babies. T_T

With no huge #tyrannosaurs around at the time of Moros you had other #dinosaurs filling what would later be T-rex's role.
