    I believe the tyrannosaurs could have lived in family units because they found Albertasaurus in a large group in every age range. If there was a species that is most likely to hunt in packs in the age of the dinosaurs it would be tyrannosaurs. However they most likely did mobbing behavior rather than pack hunting

    There were multiple Tyrannosaurs in North America before Trex, and Gorgosaurus wasn’t the last tyrannosaur before the Trex’s ancestor migrated from Asia, so I wouldn’t call Gorgosaurus “the king before trex” because over millions of years there were multiple “kings”, some even coexisted with each other like Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus, I think a better topic for a video should be about Lythronax, which is the oldest known tyrannosaurid from North America, I guess you could call it the “first king”

      @@TheSandwhichman108 You didn't mention intelligence in your first post, you mentioned brain size, which has only some indication of intelligence, and the T-rex brain cavity is similar in overall scale to a Blue Whales or Humans, major differences are that the T-rex has the largest temporal and occipital lobes ever measured in a brain cavity, while it's frontal lobe while still large by animal standards is smaller in relation to it's rather enlarged other lobes, it's proportionally very similar to modern raptors and vultures, just at a much larger scale. And raptors are known for their intelligence and eyesight and vultures for their intelligence and sense of smell. I haven't read any literature on Gorgosaurus brain cavity, but I would wager it's similarly shaped to T-rex, just scaled down to it's smaller skull and would therefore have similar characteristics in overall intelligence since they are both Tyrannosaurs.

    It's remarkable that several different Tyrannosaurs had very short arms. How such a design was adaptive is not an easy question. All of them apparently used their head almost exclusively as a hunting weapon, their arms being useless for such purposes. Maybe they also could use 1 foot for the attack while balancing on their other foot as well as their tail.

      So to explain because I worked on its fossils the land that the animal was originally found in and we were digging in turned out to be private land owned by natives and because of that the natives put out a request to be the ones to name it so in the region of Canada and Alaska gorgosaurus was later renamed to Nanuqsaurus(polar bear lizard).

      It was referred by a lot of people to of weighed 6-7 tons but the most recent and accurate estimates are 8 tons and from what I hear 9-10 tons.
      This was a 15 meter creature we’re talking about here and contrary to popular belief it wasn’t skinny.
      And not too long ago a renowned paleontologist Nizar Ibrahim who’s none for his studies on spinosaurus stated it likely weighed more than 7-8 tons and likely weighed 10-12 metric tons. So while it’s not as likely as 8 tons it could’ve possibly reached that.
      And the last 6 ton estimate I’ve seen was by Dan folkes which as a while ago so I’m not sure where you got this 6 ton idea.

      As of right now the most accurate estimate is. 8.2 tons and I heard that in Ibrahim’s most recent paper in may he estimated it at 9.5 tons because of the increased density. Now I may be wrong here so I’d go with 8.2 tons possibly higher as I’ve heard Paul (who did the estimate) reduced the density so it could be higher.
