Tyrannosaurus Tooth | Dant Tyranosor

3D ModelNoAI

Roedd gan y Tyranosor rym brathu anhygoel, rhwng tua 18,000 a 2335,000 Newton mae’n debyg. Gallai ei ddannedd falu esgyrn yn fân a thynnu cymaint o fwyd (mêr esgyrn) a phosib o weddillion carcas. Fe wnaeth y darganfyddiad hwn arwain rhai gwyddonwyr i awgrymu y gallai’r Tyranosor fod yn garthysydd. Fodd bynnag, mae tyllau ei lygaid yn wynebu am ymlaen, sy’n fwy nodweddiadol o ysglyfaethwr.

The force of a Tyrannosaurus bite has been calculated to be between 183,000 and 235,000 Newtons. Tyrannosaurus teeth could crush bone and extract as much food (bone marrow) as possible from the remains of a carcass. This discovery led some scientists to suggest that Tyrannosaurus might be a scavenger. However, its eye-sockets point forward which is more typical for a predator. The current theory is that the Tyrannosaurus preyed upon medium-sized herbivores such as Hadrosaurs and Ceratopsians, and scavenged carcasses of larger prey.
