Hmm interesting so then if theses two are the same then how come it's still unlikely that Tarbo and Rexy were the same? (Not saying they are as I have no "real" proof of this but it's an idea)

Tarbosaurus on the left, Tyrannosaurus on the right. They may look similar from the side, but there can be no doubt that they are very different animals when viewed from the top.

Even from the side the orbital crests are clearly different.

Triceratops is the older name in any case, so even if they do turn out to be synonymous Triceratops would take priority over Torosaurus.
Fortunately, it's like that c:

Thank you so much guys for answering my questions!!

tarbo kind of reminds me of a charcharadontosaur, is it likely that it had similar feeding habits?

Quite unlikely, since tyrannosaurid teeth and carnosaur teeth are very different in structure.

Also was Yi Qi likely to be nocturnal or cathemeral?
Can someone answer this and my other question please.

I would say very similar to Morrison since they had the same basic ecosystem

How far would dinosaurs would've evolved if the meteor missed Earth or hit the moon? Would they have stayed relatively the same, or evolved into lizard people?

They aren't lizards! And they wouldn't look like that:

Yi was likely nocturnal, IIRC. Don't quote me on that, though.

It's possible that some theropods may have evolved to be sapient, but there's no real reason to think they would abandon the basic theropod body plan if they did.

What tyrannosaurids (both confirmed or specilative) lived together? The only two that jump to mind were, Trex and Nano, and Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus.

Isn't Nanotyrannus just a juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex?

It's been confirmed AFAIK to be a separate species.
