VERY accurate theorized life cycle and behavior of the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex.
when first born, the Tyrannosaurus chick is covered in a thick coat of light down, probably looking something similar to a Chicken chick of today, since the Chicken is the latest living relative to the massive Tyrannosaurus Rex.
once the young Tyrannosaurus begins transitioning to the adolescent stage, its feathers become more dense, and likely look something closer to a Hawk, or Falcon of the modern day. only for them to transition into thick protective, rock hard Avian scales once this apex scavenger reaches full-on adult hood.
the full-grown Tyrannosaurus Rex in its prime likely still has feathers on its hands, looking more like wings, on its tail in a paddle-like shape, and a light down of feathers around the head, and chest area. during the mating season, in the fall, the feathers on its transitional wings(or hands), and on the fan of tail feathers, begin to change from a dark brown to a bright array of blues are reds, these are used in a mating dance unique to the T. Rex who displays it, similar to some tropical birds of paradise in south america, and Asia.
contradictory to 'very' popular belief, the Tyrannosaurus Rex is not primarily a predator, only resorting to hunting when dead food is scarce. in reality, the infamous T. Rex was a scavenger... feeding off of whatever corpse is left in what is now known as the Hell Creek formation. this does not mean the Tyrannosaurus was a pushover, however. similar to Modern day roosters, the male of the species is VERY territorial, get to close, and its off with your entire body! and likely, in to his massive stomach, juvenile Rex's would be wise to stay out of a grown Rex's way, and if not mating season, the Female would be wise to do the same.
Tyrannosaurus Rex tends to build a nest atop a densely forested hill, digging a 'small' hole and littering it with twigs, leaves and branches... once her eggs are layed, she will never stay very far from her nest, however once the eggs have hatched and the young are old enough to fend for themselves, she will leave the nest and travel very far away to ensure her own young's survival, and avoid inter-breeding with her own children!
