Tyrannosaurs have used a "sixth sense" to catch their prey

Giant two-legged predators from the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era had more than huge teeth and massive jaws in their arsenal.

The discovery of a new type of tyrannosaurus that lived about 75 million years ago on the territory of today's state of Montana in the United States had, just like today's crocodiles, highly sensitive scales on his face that allowed him to feel and catch his prey much - Easy.

Known as Daspletosaurus Horneri, the new species, which was over 2 meters high, has a length of up to 9 meters and could have a weight of up to 3.8 tonnes, had a massive skull, heavy tail and armored skin all over his body.

His hypersensitive muzzle has helped not only to catch booty but also to keep his predators away.

By comparing the newly discovered species with the whole Tyrannosaur family, scientists have concluded that all members of the family may have had the same "sixth sense" as Dapsplezaver.
