Who is Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em> was a ferocious tyrannosaur that lived in present-day Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous. Whether the size or appearance, Tarbosaurus<\/em> was very similar to Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>. Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em> had a huge body, short forelimbs, robust hind legs, fangs and claws, and was a powerful local predator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did ZHAO Chuang and YANG Yang create Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Size of Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarbosaurus<\/em> was a large predator, comparable to the size of Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>, but not as stout as Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>. It had a slightly narrower trunk. We set the body length of Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em> to 11 meters to scale down, and it had a sturdy neck, trunk, and tail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Head of Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although both were large carnivorous dinosaurs of the Tyrannosauridae family, from the perspective of restoration, the head of Tarbosaurus<\/em> was longer and more slender than that of Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>, which was caused by their different lower jaws. Unlike Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>, which had a wide and flexible jaw, Tarbosaurus <\/em>had a much narrower lower jaw that looked rigid. The different shapes were actually caused by their various living environments. Mongolia, where Tarbosaurus<\/em> lived at the time, was active with many giant sauropods, such as Nemegtosaurus<\/em>, which were colossal and hardly moved alone. To deal with these herds of giants, Tarbosauru<\/em>s must have some special equipment, and their hard lower jaw was gradually formed in the fight with these prey. In North America, where Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em> lived, there was no such large prey then, and they naturally did not need a hard lower jaw. Therefore, the different physiological structures of Tyrannosaurus rex <\/em>and Tarbosaurus<\/em> are their adaptation to survival. When restoring Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus,<\/em> we showed this remarkable feature on its head, so the entire face of Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em> looks narrower than that of Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Forelimbs of Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most tyrannosaurs had very short forelimbs, especially the Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em>. Their short forelimbs are always talked about by everyone. In fact, among the members of the Tyrannosauridae family, the forelimbs of Tarbosaurus<\/em> were shorter than those of Tyrannosaurus rex<\/em> in terms of body proportions. From this restored Tarbosaurus<\/em> model, you can see that its forelimbs are very short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Skin of Chuanzi the Tarbosaurus<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fossilized scales are preserved from the throat to the shoulders of Tarbosaurus<\/em> and the middle section of the right side of the tail. We refer to this evidence to reconstruct the scales on the skin of Tarbosaurus<\/em>. No evidence of the skin color of Tarbosaurus<\/em> has been found yet, but according to their habit- the swamp, we have restored its skin color to gray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
