Was Tyrannosaurus Rex a herbivore or a carnivore?

"...[T-rex] was a giant carnivorous theropod dinosaur from the Upper Maastrichtian, the last stage of the Cretaceous period, 68–65 million years ago"

It's a fact, the crow out side your house is a decendant ot the T-Rex. Heres a link to check out,

Dinosaurs died 100,000,000 years ago. \nThey're gone! Get over it.

Perhaps... the weather during the early part of the Cretaceous was warmer than today (and more uniform.)  I'm actually in the process of writing a paper exploring the possibility of hadrosaur hibernation in northern Alaska.\n\nI took a tour of a dinosaur resource center today.  The tour guide said that ability to adapt is what saved KT survivors.  Crocodiles can go months without eating.  Birds migrate.  Fish could swim to deeper water.\n\nIt is still highly debated to what caused the Cretaceous Tertiary extinction.

yeah he had wood peckers and as to where he kept them i have no idea but i do know that all the animals had one diet in common. back then even lions ate leave and grass and herb not meat but after the flood the diet was changed.

I think that you are right. Well you are right. Dinosaurs did get killed by a big comet that hit the earth. Also the sun was blocked out so the plants died therefore the plant eaters died. And if the plant eaters died then the meat eaters would starve and then they would die. And that is how the dinosaurs died. \nFrom KitKat

We can't really prove it. All their insides were decayed, so the only evidence of them being reptiles is their bone structure. But for all we know, they could have been fuzzy, warm blooded, dinosaurs. There is no way to determine either way scientifically, because we can't see a live one.

The biggest dinosaur currently known is generally conceded to be Argentinosaurus, a huge sauropod (brontosaur-type) from the late Cretaceous of South America.  Extrapolation from the size of the fossilized bones found indicates that Argentinosaurus was up to 120 feet long and weighed in the neighbourhood of 100 tons.  The maximum weight estimate for a huge dinosaur like Tyrannosaurus was 8 tons, so Argentinosaurus was massive even for a dinosaur.\n\nAs to how some animals survived, while others did not is one of the big, big mysteries of the KT extinction event.  Why did pterosaurs all go extinct, but birds survive?  Why did ammonites and belemnites all go extinct, but sharks and nautilus survive?  Why did giant marine reptiles like mosasaurs and icthyosaurs go extinct, while crocodiles and snakes survived?  Some of those are hard to explain if an asteroid impact was the sole reason for the extinctions.  The general consensus seems to be that there were a large number of factors such as continental shifts creating faunal interchange between long isolated populations, which could spread disease among dinosaurs.  The continental shifts would also have altered ocean currents, changing environments and climate, and altering existing eco-systems (especially some of the rich shallow seas that existed at the time).  Adaptive radiation of flowering plants (Angiosperms) in the late Cretaceous may have caused stress on those animals that were dependent on the competing Gymnosperm plants.  Co-evolution of many insects in response to the radiation of Angiosperms may have somehow favoured the survival of the birds over the pterosaurs.  \n\nThen when the asteroid impact occurred, it was the straw that broke the camel's back for many of these species that were under intense pressure, but other species were able to survive.

-they were excellent mothers\n-the most ferocious lived in the cretacious period in the ocean.\n-a t-rex bite was so powerful, scientists have found teeth marks on fossils.\n-when brontosaurus flicked its tail, the sound was so crisp, it broke the sound barrier.

The Bible is not a pure science book.\nThere is a passage in Job chapter 40 describing the "behemoth" and another in Job chapter 41 about "leviathan" (King James Version of the Bible) descriptions which could talk about the dinosaur. \n\nSee answersingenesis.org the article on "could Behemoth have been a dinosaur?"

havent u seen the jurassic-park movies ?? its the large dinosaur that comes in these movies all the time.its a huge sized flesh eating dinosaur.also called T-REX (as its full name is tyranosauras rex).its till date,the largest carnivorous dinosaur that ever inhabited earth.

millions of years ago.....\n a meteor hit the earth causing the dust, dirt, sand, and other particles to fly into the air and stay. at this time the particles caused a darkness which blocked the sun whit prevnted the plants to grow & the herbivores died.... when the herbavores died the carnivores died because herbavors were thier main source of food.

The popei plant came around right as the dinosaurs were going extinct... most dinosaurs has really small nasal cavities...\nmakes you think....

Some tortoises eat only vegetables while the t-rex only ate meat.  Then there were also dinosaurs that were omnivores eating both.

Dinosaurs were members of the SuperOrder Dinosauria. No member of Dinosauria are alive anymore.\n\nReptiles, like Komodo dragons or crocodilians are not and never were dinos- a seperate branch of the evolutionary tree.\n\nThere are kinds of fish (coelocanth, shark, etc.), plants (ferns, fungi), reptiles (crocs), insects, and other groups that are very similar to their prehistoric counterparts- but none of these were dinos either.

Yes, in China I believe.\n\nDo remember, though, that the difference between a dragon and a dinosaur may essentially be nil (although my nephew knows that a dinosaur has its hands included in its wings, but a dragon has wings AND arms!).  \n\nI sincerely doubt that the fossil they found was an animal that breathed fire.

carchardontosaurus, it was about twice the size of the average t-rex.  You can stand up inside its mouth.  you cant do that in a t-rex.
