Description
Tarbosaurus bataar
Named by Evgeny Maleev, 1955
Diet: Carnivore (Prey included the titanosaur sauropod Nemegtosaurus, hadrosaurs such as Saurolophus and Barsboldia, ankylosaurids Tarchia and Saichania, and herbivorous and omnivorous theropods such as Therizinosaurus and mostly young Deinocheirus, while younger animals chased after small game such as Gallimimus and Prenocephale; there is also evidence that it was an opportunistic scavenger)
Type: Coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur (Tyrannosaurine Tyrannosaurid)
Size: 33 feet (10 meters) long and 4.4 to 5.5 tons
Region: Asia (Mongolia)
Age: Late Cretaceous (72 to 68.5 million BC; Early Maastrichtian)
Episode: Chased by Dinosaurs - The Giant Claw
Info: The dominant predator of Late Cretaceous Asia (Nemegt Formation in Mongolia), meaning "Alarming Lizard", Tarbosaurus looked a lot like Tyrannosaurus and is often considered an Asian species of Tyrannosaurus dubbed, Tyrannosaurus bataar. But Tarbosaurus has more teeth, but was smaller, lighter, less heavily built, had smaller teeth, a narrower snout, slightly younger in geologic age, and even had tinier arms than its famous cousin and while T. rex has eyes facing forward that would've given it depth perception, the eyes of Tarbosaurus were jutted sideways, meaning that while hunting for its prey, it relies on its acute sense of smell than sight.

Note: Based on Gregory S. Paul. I included it eating a dismembered Deinocheirus arm and originally I was gonna base the arm on trefrex.deviantart.com/art/Dei… , but then decided to base the one I did years ago (trefrex.deviantart.com/art/Dei… )
