Scientists used a chemical technique involving isotope clumping in tooth enamel to estimate the body temperature of two T. rex specimens. The research, published in Science Advances, determined T. rex's body temperature to be between 33.8°C and 38.8°C, placing it in the range of large mammals and certain birds but lower than flying birds. Aradhna Tripati from UCLA explained that analyzing very small samples from…
How do you take T. rex's temperature? These scientists did it →Scientists used fossilized teeth to measure the body temperature of Tyrannosaurus rex, finding it was about 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius). This is similar to modern elephants and within the range of human body temperatures. The study, published in Science Advances, challenges previous theories by providing concrete evidence that T. rex was warm-blooded and could maintain a stable internal temperature…
The T. rex had a body temperature similar humans, study finds →Scientists have determined that Tyrannosaurus rex had an average body temperature of about 36.3°C (97.3°F) using clumped isotope analysis on fossilized teeth, indicating it was warm-blooded like humans and elephants. This study, published in Science Advances, suggests T. rex could maintain a high metabolism across various climates, supporting theories that it was an active predator capable of thriving in diverse…
