So this is trending on the news. I'm not an expert so I wanted to know what the Dino community over here thinks. I know I shouldn't trust pages with "lol Jurassic Park was wrong kiddies". EDIT: Fixed the link. Edited by Sahara, Jul 19 2017, 03:21 PM.

More or less just yet another paper about why Tyrannosaurus was probably unable to achieve a running gait. It's interesting to have another perspective also supporting what's been generally accepted though. |

Let me copy paste a post that I made on reddit.
Also refer to the following Duane Nash article, which, while always controversial do generally give some interesting ideas: http://antediluviansalad.blogspot.com.es/2016_09_18_archive.html Edited by babehunter1324, Jul 19 2017, 06:19 PM.

The young are built to run, it would be interesting if the vision seems any different from the adults too. |

AFAIK binocular vision was present in T. rex throught all of it's ontogenic development, it's one of the reason why paleontologist started to suspect that individuals refered as N. lancensis where actually juvenile T. rex, until the discovery of Lythronax argestes there were no known Tyrannosaurids with a wide angle of binocular vision. I think it's impossible to tell if ontogeny had any effect on the daily patterns of Tyrannosaurid. Edited by babehunter1324, Jul 20 2017, 01:49 AM.

Well I'd assume the youngs would try to be active when the adults were not, to avoid competition or turning into food themselves, like some modern species do. |

That's a possibilty, but without well preserved scleral rings and little information about the daily pattern behavior of the Lancian fauna we can only speculate

Rule of Cool dictates that I must go with the theory which I think is more awesome, that being that they could run faster. |
