What color was Tyrannasaurus Rex? Why did they go extinct?

>>>>>What color was Tyrannasaurus Rex?\n\nWe have no absolutely no way of knowing.  It almost certainly varied with the age of the animal.\n\nThe young animals almost certainly had feathers, and given their small size it seems reasonably that both the feathers and the skin would have been dark brown or black to enable them to heat from sunlight. The addittion of spots or stripes would add in hiding. The young of most large birds and mammals today are stipe dor spotted so it seems reasonable to assume the same for tyrranosaur chicks.\n\n\nThe adults seem to have lacked feathers, at least for the most part. In that respect they seem to be like elephants rhinos, whales and other large mammals where the young retain at leat sparse hair that is almost totally absent from the adult.\n\nWhat colour the adults were we simply can’t know. Animals of that size generally have little use for camouflage colouration so they can be whatever colour they like. The big question is how much of a role vision played in courtship. If tyrannosaurs were like modern birds we would expect the males at least to have extremely brightly coloured heads at the very least. \n\nSo an olive grey Tyrrannosaur with a bright blue head and big red circles under the eyes is no less likely than any other colour scheme.\n\n\n\nCellar door said “They were just large versions of the lizards we have today.”\n\n\nThey most certainly were NOT large versions of the lizards we have today. They are only very distantly related to modern lizards. The closest living relatives are, not surprisingly, birds. \n\n\nWe aren’t entirely certain what the lifestyle of a T. rex was, they seem to have been a combination of predator and scavenger. In terms of lifestyle the closest living comparison would probably be a lion or hyaena.\n\nThey were in no way lizard-like.\n\n>>>>They went extinct because of a meteor\n\nThat is one theory, but one that is rapidly losing credibility.  There were probably multiple factors leading to the mass extinction that took T. rex along with numerous other species. A comet or meteor impact just doesn’t explain all the observations

It doesn't.  The dinosaurs existed millions of years before mankind. They died off around 65 million years ago.

Dinosaur picture taken by camera doesn't exist!\nIt's a picture of simulated dinosaur.\n\nTry to search for movie such as JURASSIC PARK, KING KONG etc. \n\nGoogle search on dinosaur (picture) is ok.

There is a CD for sale at Amazon "Most Amazing Dinosaur Songs" that has songs about dinosaurs. Track 10 is named Tyrannosaurus Rex. You can listen to clips and see if you can identify the songs that way. Click on this link and then scroll down to listen to samples.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00025ETTG/104-1700445-3365541?v=glance&n=5174

it was a tyranosaurus rex wasn't it? I'm pretty sure that was it. except for the ones that he'd made up in the mansion of course, we don't know the sequance in which he made those, but the tyranosaurus rex was the first one you saw him do

It doesn't work like that.  \n\nWe're going to have to back up a long ways so you can understand first how evolution works, then I can answer your question.\n\nOkay.  The dinosaurs didn't "turn into" birds.  Most of them died out due to massive climate changes that took millions of years.  Some smaller dinosaur species gradually, again over millions of years, evolved into avians.  \n\nOther reptiles are still around today, but in forms that can effetively compete with mammals, all of which started from a small rodent-like creature that coexisted with the dinosaurs.  After the dinos died out, this mammal evolved into the millions of mammalian species we see today, again over a period of perhaps 200 million years.\n\nSome of these mammals evolved into primates; some of these primates evolved into hominids, and some hominids evolved into homo sapiens.  The rest died out because they could not effectively compete against existing species.  "Survival of the Fittest" and all that.  Many primate species survived to evolve into the thousands of different kinds of primates we see today.\n\nIt's actually quite elegant, when you see the pattern clearly.

they haven't found one yet, but they are still looking...Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter will be the first to know...watch the Animal Planet.  Alas, it is probably extinct, but there is still hope!!! The Ivory Billed Woodpecker has been recently spotted (Arkansas), confirmed and is now OFF the extinction list!!!        Very Awesome!!!

My dad used to work at a planetarium and in the gift shop they claimed to sell aquatic "dinosaurs". They were in fact really weird trilobite things. One of them outlived all the others and was like 3 inches long. It was the creepiest thing I ever saw. Maybe they should start mass marketing those instead of the Sea Monkeys. They're far more impressive.

You are nuts!. . .Because the dinosaurs died doesn't mean God failed. . .it means the dinos are in Heaven!  (Except the ones who didn't accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and the ones who were gay dinosaurs, or voted Democrat.)

Dinosaurs became extinct before the camera was invented.

Tyrannosaurus rex probably lived in forests, where its prey (plant-eating dinosaurs) could find plenty of food.

Dinosaurs were very abundant, I couldnt swear that they were the MOST abundant vertebrate.

Dinosaurs were vertebrate animals that dominated the terrestrial ecosystem for over 160 million years, first appearing approximately 230 million years ago. At the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, dinosaurs suffered a catastrophic extinction, which ended their dominance on land. Modern birds are considered to be the direct descendants of theropod dinosaurs.

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
