MemberCompsognathusJun-01-2013 8:27 PMHere's a good one! Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the biggest North American carnivorous dinosaurs out there, but did it hunt or scavenge? Leave a response, and state your facts!

MemberCompsognathusJun-02-2013 8:13 PMYeah, I'm not arguing with ya. I'm just stating facts. Bottom line: Tyrannosaurus is a hunter who, like most predators, would not pass up a free meal.
PS- They did find a family of Tyrannosaurus' in Montana. They mention it in the 2nd episode of Jurassic Fight Club. Rex's of different sizes and ages.

MemberCompsognathusJun-02-2013 8:20 PMRetaliation to a past statement saying that there isn't any proof of rexes being pack hunters?

MemberCompsognathusJun-05-2013 7:24 PMI would probably say both as with most Predators I could hunt its Prey but it's much easier to just steal from Someone else. And who is gonna mess with the biggest, meanest dog?

MemberCompsognathusJan-10-2014 11:46 AMI'd say 60% Hunter and 40% scavenger
Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-

MemberCompsognathusJan-11-2014 3:25 AMI'd Say i will agree on Rex Fan and MrHappy. T-Rex could Scavenge if they lucky enough to find any carcass that has't been halfly eaten by another predator. probably they more of a hunter. those head is using for crush prey because some prey havinf a deep pile of meat. so a weak jaw would'nt acctually puncture it. so that's why the rex have a massive head
