Albertosaurus was a giant carnivorous dinosaur that lived a few million years before T-rex appeared. Albertosaurus means \"Alberta lizard\" in Greek, where many of its fossils have been discovered, and sarcophagus is the Greek word for \"carnivore.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During its time, Albertosaurus sarcophagus was the top predator in Upper Cretaceous Canada. This ferocious carnivorous dinosaur was similar to Tyrannosaurus; both had reduced forelimbs and a large skull and jaws, although Albertosaurus was somewhat smaller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albertosaurus had predatory behavior such as bipedal movement, bird-like hollow bones, tiny forearms, and moved quickly. Albertosaurus also had some key differences with Tyrannosaurus such as its skull was quite a bit thinner, and its teeth were not well adapted for bone crushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Albertosaurus was somewhat smaller. Albertosaurus was about 9 meters long and a foot high at the hips and weighed up to 3 tons. The jaws of Albertosaurus possessed numerous large, sharp teeth; the lower jaw had 14 to 16 teeth; the upper jaw had 17 to 19 teeth, which were cropped and serrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Albertosaurus lived in a semi-tropical environment with lots of vegetation. Albertosaurus would be hunted by prey much larger or equal to its size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was about 9 meters long and a foot high at the hips and weighed up to 3 tons. The jaws of Albertosaurus possessed numerous large, sharp teeth; the lower jaw had 14-16 teeth; the upper jaw 17-19 teeth, which were trimmed and serrated. They had three functional toes that gave this dinosaur a bird-like footprint.<\/p> <\/div>
