He has had public spats with female parliamentarians and ministers—as well as icy relations with China and India and with Presidents Trump and Biden. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Tyrannosaur Discovered With Last Meal Preserved in Its Stomach

Listen to article(2 minutes)For the first time, paleontologists have discovered a fossilized tyrannosaur with its last meal preserved in its stomach—and it turns out the dinosaur was a fussy eater, consuming only the choicest parts of its prey and discarding the rest. The discovery confirms what researchers have long suspected: Juvenile tyrannosaurs, like this one, sliced through the flesh of small prey with blade-like teeth, while adults, with chompers strong enough to crush bone, targeted giant herbivores.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
