subtitle, "A fossil tooth is the best proof yet that T. rex wasn't just a giant vulture."
There is new evidence that the T. rex hunted hadrosaurs such as the Anatosaurus seen in this illustration. Illustration by Roy Andersen, National Geographic

"At best, T. rex could have chased down lame, young, or weak animals, but otherwise it lived on carrion, Horner said... " Jack just won't let go of that bone. Sad, really.

Well there’s only one way to prove if T-Rex was too slow to be a hunter. Clone one of them from existing DNA, and have the scientists who doubt T-Rex could run fast try to outrun one. That would make for exciting reality tv.

It didn’t need to be a marathon runner. Just faster than what it was hunting. And with a battery of teeth like that, and a set of toenails like that, hands really are an unnecessary option.
As for using Hyenas as an example, Horner demonstrates exactly what kind of fool he is. They are VERY effective predators.
