Researchers at UCL have examined the evolutionary adaptations of meat-eating dinosaurs, particularly focusing on the small arms of species such as T. rex.
The study suggests that the evolution of these tiny limbs was likely linked to the development of strong heads, which were crucial for hunting and attacking prey.
This research sheds light on the complex evolutionary pressures that shaped the anatomy of these prehistoric creatures.
