Study Finds T. rex Had Body Temperature Similar to Modern Animals
A recent study has revealed that the body temperature of Tyrannosaurus rex was approximately 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius), similar to that of modern elephants and close to human body temperature. This finding, derived from analyzing fossilized teeth, suggests that T. rex was warm-blooded and could adapt to various climates in prehistoric North America. The study highlights the potential for further research on the thermal regulation of other dinosaur species.
