“Tyrannosauroidea (meaning ‘tyrant lizard forms’) is a superfamily (or clade) of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs that includes the family Tyrannosauridae as well as more basal relatives. Tyrannosauroids lived on the Laurasian supercontinent beginning in the Jurassic Period. By the end of the Cretaceous Period, tyrannosauroids were the dominant large predators in the Northern Hemisphere, culminating in the gigantic Tyrannosaurus itself. Fossils of tyrannosauroids have been recovered on what are now the continents of North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia.”

Just plane old Wiki info. They shared a common ancestor with birds who are visibly similar and structure with T. Rex and also have feathers in their family.

When it comes to BBQ, I’m I’m content with chicken wings, but imagine the size of Tex Rex ‘wings’.

Guess we will never know. After all it’s survival of the fittest and the chicken is still here.
