Mark P. Witton: King Tyrant, Gebunden

Klappentext

"King Tyrant: A Natural History of Tyrannosaurus Rex is an accessible synthesis of our understanding of the evolutionary position, life history, and biomechanics of the T. rex. It explores answers to classic questions, such as "how fast could it run?" "what were its small arms for?" or "was it a predator or scavenger?" At the same time it uncovers new questions, like "was it one species or many?" and "what did it look like?"
