T. rex combined roughly 12 meters of scale, a crushing bite and spring-efficient locomotion into an extreme terrestrial predator, likely targeting juvenile megaherbivores while scavenging opportunistically.Its fossil record shows why converging evidence matters: healed bites support active attacks, weathered-bone damage supports scavenging, and gigantism’s advantages became liabilities when the asteroid-driven climate shock favored smaller bird lineages.
