What is your favourite dinosaur?

Any dino with heavy firepower is my fave.

Ahh, didn't knew he did but he allways was a bit extreme imo.

I believe I read it in an article from Graeme D. Ruxton and David C. Houston of the University of Glasgow but don't quote me on that ...

Ruxton, Graeme D. and David C. Houston."Could Tyrannosaurus rex Have Been a Scavenger Rather Than a Predator? An Energetics Approach." Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B. Vol. 270, 2003.
That's a good article for sure! But a bit old IMO. More recently they have found evidence that it did hunt, as described here. http://www.pnas.org/content/110/31/12560.short
So I'm not buying the obligate scavenger theory at all. It definitely scavenged when it could, but it hunted as well.
