T-Rex Controversy

I never thought about that. That is agood point. Why don't they look at T-Rex's predecessors?

I agree with this. T-Rex was more of a hunter until its food got source scarce then would scavange to find food but in all Tyrannosaurus was and always be a hunter.

Why would Rex being an active hunter be challenged anyway? I mean seriously, Late Cretaceous North America had three predators that I am aware of: T-Rex, Nanotyrannus, and Dromeasaurus, Rex being the only one above one ton in weight, so what's going to keep the Edmontosaurus and Triceratops populations in check without Rex?

Another good piont.

because certain paleontologists like to state  unfounded theories. Jack Horner seems to be (or at least was) actively seeking anything that would take Rex's status as an apex predator down. It's a bit ridiculous

WHAT???!!! Scavenger oh no oh no no no no no! T-Rex is the king! You hear that paleontologiest! Don't you see bones in the T-Rex stomach! Don't you wonder where does bones of other dinosaurs are in! In the tyrannosaurus stomach! Do you see those monsterouse crushing jaws! Do you even see bones of other dinosaurs with bite marks on them! In concluision Tyrannosaurus Rex is a HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

agreed, Tyrannosaurs in general were more hunters than scavengers. 

Healed bite marks, a lack of other large theropods, smarts, binocular vision, crushing jaws, and many other things contribute to the theory that T-rex was indeed primarily a hunter. 

Airman Allo, you mentioned how nobody ever questions the likely hood that other tyrannosaurs hunted. Not only that, but everyone assumes that most abelisaurs were hunters despite tiny arms. Carnotaurus, Majungatholus(saurus), Tarascosaurus, and others are always shown as hunters.

I don't think this has been an issue for loong time.

Many modern day predators don't use their forelimbs. Wolves for example are quite efficient hunters and rely largely on their jaws/teeth.
