Researchers have discovered the preserved hind legs of two baby dinosaurs inside the stomach cavity of a tyrannosaur, providing rare evidence of dinosaur diets. This is the first time the stomach contents of a tyrannosaur have been uncovered, making the discovery particularly exciting.
Researchers have found a tyrannosaur’s last meal perfectly preserved inside its stomach cavity . What was on the menu 75 million years ago? The hind legs of two baby dinosaurs , according to new research on the fossil published Friday in the journal Science Advances. Dinosaur guts and hard evidence of their diets are rarely preserved in the fossil record, and it is the first time the stomach contents of a tyrannosaur have been uncovered.

These were the iconic apex or top predators that we’ve all seen in movies, books and museums. They walked on two legs (and) had very short arms,” Zelenitsky said. “It was a cousin of T. rex, which came later in time, 68 to 66 million years ago
