According to Prof Casey Holliday, an anatomy expert, and lead author, it is unusual for a certain muscle to emanate from the jaw making a ninety (90) degree turn as it goes along the skull’s roof of the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex).
This dinosaur is believed to be the dinosaurs’ king based on its gigantic size and other characteristics. T-Rex was able to maintain its temperature as it had two big holes in its head that helped in air conditioning. Expressly, they were instrumental in heat discharge.
According to the United Nations, the species on our planet are currently reaching extinction between one hundred (100) and one thousand (1,000 times) faster than what is considered natural.
Students should learn as much as possible about present animals, so we don’t end up with the same problem as we have with dinosaurs: our knowledge about them comes from studying fossils only. In fact, 99 percent of all species that have ever lived on the Earth are extinct today. This was the consensus of a group of prehistoric and extinct animal fanciers.
The only documented track of a Tyrannosaurus Rex can be found at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.
This groundbreaking revelation has changed the perception that the two holes called dorsotemporal fenestra contained blood vessels.
T-Rex’s massive bite
The discovery made has been instrumental in unraveling T-Rex’s massive bite force believed to be the most significant of all animals to have ever existed.
According to Prof Casey Holliday, an anatomy expert and lead author, it is unusual for a certain muscle to emanate from the jaw making a ninety (90) degree turn as it goes along the skull’s roof.
He, however, asserted that there is considerable evidence to show the existence of blood vessels in that particular area. This is founded on research undertaken on reptiles, such as alligators.
The new research has been documented in The Anatomical Record, and this overruled the theory previously made that spanned for nearly a century.
T-Rex’s dreadful nature
It is believed that T-Rex is the most fearsome predator to have ever existed. This claim is acknowledged by the new findings that scrutinized present-day alligators that are of the same lineage as dinosaurs, such as T-Rex.
Big animals are required to regulate their body temperatures so that they can avert an overwhelming mercury increase.
The research team comprised of US citizens, and it used technological innovations, such as thermal imaging instruments, pivotal in showing heat as visible light crucial in the examination of alligators at a Florida zoological farm.
Prof Holliday asserted that this strategy was beneficial as it enabled the team to study various characteristics of alligators as it would have been hard and dangerous if they were in the wild.
The evidence presented was helped craft a new theory and give anatomy insights about T-Rex’s head. On the other hand, Tardigrades are speculated to be the first life to thrive on the moon.
Based on the systematic review of about 15,000 scientific and government sources, the United Nations (UN) report also draws (for the first time ever at this scale) on indigenous and local knowledge, particularly addressing issues relevant to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. According to the UN assessment:
The diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems, as well as many fundamental contributions we derive from nature, are declining fast, although we still have the means to ensure a sustainable future for people and the planet.
