CONT

Le Tyrannosaurus rex vivait au Canada, mais ce sont ses cousins l'Albertosaure (Gorgosaure) et le Dasplétosaure qui étaient les plus communs. Ces géants de 16 pieds devaient inspirer la terreur lorsqu'ils se déplaçaient, à la recherche de nourriture, écrasant sur leur passage les arbustes des marécages.
