The tyrannosaurs they talk about in this documentary are Teratophoneus, which were native to Utah; a southern tyrannosaur living at the same time as its more famous and northernly relatives, Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus. The quarry where this unique find was discovered was also given a name; the Rainbows and Unicorns Quarry due to the extraordinary nature of the expedition. I read about the original discovery in an academic journal, so that's where I got the information from.

Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength it has in its loins, what power in the muscles of its belly! Its tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of its thighs are close-knit. Its bones are tubes of bronze, its limbs like rods of iron. It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword. The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby.

Gator tail that is 5 ton or so moving at even 10 feet per second will absolutely rock every bit of your world... thats probably like 10-15k ft-lbs of energy if it has like 15 feet of swing. To think of something moving at 1.5 seconds to cover 5 yards that seems pretty slow, I imagine it could flip that tail way faster with all those attachment points for muscle. The weight is probably low as well, needs to be enough to offset the weight of the neck and head at full extension and keep full balance so probably around 1/5 of the total mass in the tail? Anyone got any mass ratio info on something like this?

This was posted two weeks ago, but the "Drain the Oceans" series is years old. It's great that they're starting to discern something about the social lives of dinosaurs. But where were the feathers? Tyrannosaurs would likely have had some feather covering, even if it functioned more like fur than the feathers we know on birds today. Tyrannosaurs are a genetic source for modern birds. It's interesting to know that these dinosaurs would have had some mammal-like characteristics such as caring for their young, and forming packs and family groups that would no doubt have had a "pecking order". It makes sense that if they had 160 million years to rule the planet, they would have evolved to a higher degree than we normally give them credit for. Yes indeed, packs of tyrannosaurs with the smarts and strategies of a modern-day wolf pack would have been a formidable force of nature in their day.

You will need to look this up, but research on the neuroanatomy of modern birds indicates that their neurons as twice as densely packed as are mammals. Recent research has suggested that the T-Rex had a similar neural structures, so as smart as a wolf is a possibility. More likely it means the finest sensory sight and smell of any land animal that ever existed.

The T-Rex family issue makes me think of Tornado rather than a flash flood , which would have dispersed the bodies further apart from each other. So Say a tornado had whipped the family into a nearby stream, or flood plane, then water flow may have left their carcasses next to a log jamb, hence the proximity to each other when they were unearthed.

So they didn't have the neckbones and the upper part of the torso. It would appear so what exactly makes them come to the conclusion that this had some 40 foot long neck or something? It makes a lot more sense to have a long tail and a shorter neck. Or maybe even a thick Nick with a big head. They don't have the school. They don't have the neck bones but one. So I'm really curious to know what would make them. Believe that this dinosaur had a neck that unbelievably long without having the bones to show for it

Ask DARPA for funding too to design safer Bradleys and Humvees. For one thing, the levers, forces, masses, BIPM derived units could be standards to be emulated or striven for, in big machines.
