Tyrannosaurus rex was a sensitive lover, scientists find


It may have had big teeth and fearsome appetites, but the T. rex was a sensitive lover   Credit: History Channel

It just goes to show that you can't tell everything by size.

Despite its fearsome teeth and cumbersome body the T. rex was a sensitive lover according to a new study.

The carnivorous dinosaur had a sensitive side - namely its nose, which was as sensitive as human fingertips.
 
In contrast with its 9-inch-long teeth and 20-foot height, the dinosaur had a nose which yearned to be touched.

As well as using its tactile nose to investigate surroundings, build nests and carefully pick up fragile eggs, the T. rex also enjoyed rubbing its sensitive face against that of a mate.

The US researchers wrote in the journal Scientific Reports: "In courtship, tyrannosaurids might have rubbed their sensitive faces together as a vital part of pre-copulatory play."

Not sure I'd like to be around to see that. :bolt: :runaway:

Whoever thinks touching two parts with a lot of nerve-endings equates to hot mating behavior really doesn't get the phrase 'A handshake instead of a kiss.'

T. Rex was compensating for his small hands.
