The Total T. rex: The Latest Science on the World's Most Famous Dinosaur

What has this research revealed about growth, social behavior, hunting techniques, locomotion, and ecology of this dinosaur? And how reliable are the different reports concerning T. rex you hear about in the news media? Find out in our upcoming lecture as Dr. Holtz examines our current understanding of the tyrant king: what we know, what we don't yet know, and what remains to be discovered!
