Tarbosaurus bataar

Tarbosaurus, belonging to the family Tyrannosauridae, was a top predator in its ecosystem, exhibiting features similar to its North American relative, Tyrannosaurus rex, such as a robust skull with sharp, serrated teeth capable of delivering crushing bites, and strong hind limbs built for swift, though likely not sustained, pursuit of prey. With its relatively smaller, yet muscular forelimbs, it is believed to have had a keen sense of smell and sight, using its acute sensory abilities to track herbivorous dinosaurs like the hadrosaurids and ceratopsians that populated its habitat, while likely scavenging or hunting in packs or alone. Fossil evidence suggests that Tarbosaurus had a large, powerful tail that could have aided in balance while chasing down prey or maintaining agility. Despite its formidable size, Tarbosaurus may have faced competition from other carnivores, such as the smaller theropod, Velociraptor, which shared its environment, though the exact nature of their interactions remains speculative.
