Time for the Theropods
These are the most distant from the original design principles. But they can stand and are poseable as well.

If you want to know more, I recommended reading the book, "King Tyrant" by @markwitton

"The long and complex backstory of tyrannosaurs is not one of dinosaur dominance but that of a group of reptilian underdogs that lived alongside larger predators until they stepped into the apex predator role themselves. Here is a list of some of the tyrannosaurs that stalked the planet millions of years before T. rex."

Meet Khankhuuluu mongoliensis, the Dragon Prince of Mongolia paleonerdish.wordpress.com/202 by @Ferwen

"The spread of #tyrannosaurs began about 90 million years ago when a species similar to #Khankhuuluu crossed from Asia into America. 79 Mya, at least one lineage returned to Asia. Two distinct lineages were given rise to by this: one smaller and slender, one giant and stocky. One of these large-bodied tyrannosaurs then dispersed back into America around 70 Mya, resulting in T. rex"

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."

#Fossils of Two New Abelisaurid #Dinosaurs Uncovered in #Morocco sci.news/paleontology/moroccan

New fossils of #Abelisauridae (#Dinosauria: #Theropoda) from the upper #Maastrichtian of Morocco, North Africa sciencedirect.com/science/arti

"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."
