Members of the Tyrannosaurus Rex family may be known for their fighting skills, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t sensitive lovers, a new study suggests.
The T-Rex is best known for its fighting skills, both in science and mainstream movies, but apparently the prehistoric predator has a more sensitive side.
Dinosaurs aren’t usually called out on their lovemaking skills, but thanks to a new study published online Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports , we might be looking at the T-Rex family in a new, romantic light.
The study by a team of international researchers explains how the sensitive skin on the dinosaur’s snout may have proved very important to its mating ritual.
“In courtship, tyrannosaurids might have rubbed their sensitive faces together as a vital part of pre-copulatory play,” the study says.
