Gorgosaurus
GOR-go-SAWR-us, “fierce lizard”
Gorgosaurus was one of the tyrannosaurid dinosaurs. Tyrannosaurids were ferocious carnivores and occasional scavengers, with a preference for plant-eating “duck-billed” dinosaurs. They used their jaws to grip-and-rip large chunks of meat that were swallowed whole. Juveniles and adults may have lived and hunted together in packs.
