What did T. rex actually eat? The first place to look for clues is in its stomach…but lacking that, paleontologists can also analyze the contents from a later stage in the digestive process: its waste! Fossilized remains, known as coprolites, can reveal not only what an animal has eaten but how it consumed its prey. Analyzing T. rex feces, researchers found that it contained high levels of phosphorous and that 30 to 50 percent of the specimen was composed of bone fragments—some as small as grains of sand—from a young animal. The contents helped scientists confirm what this predator’s impressive anatomy had long indicated: T. rex could crush and digest large amounts of solid bone.

markerpanek Lots of bones? Kinda like vultures! Almost certainly a scavenger, and being a Cretaceous dinosaur, probably more feathers!

danieljdagostino Reeeeeealy not liking this artwork. What's up with the weird emaciated face? Not good.

roncyrusii What’s the thought around it doing most of it’s feeding on remains?
