Albertosaurus 3D skull

Albertosaurus is an extinct genus of theropod dinosaurs in the Tyrannosauridae family. It lived in the Late Cretaceous, around 70 to 68 million years ago, in what is now North America. Albertosaurus was a bipedal carnivore measuring around 9 meters in length and weighing up to 2.5 tons.

The name Albertosaurus literally means "Alberta lizard", in reference to the Canadian province where the first fossils of this dinosaur were discovered in the Horseshoe Canyon formation in Alberta. Several relatively complete specimens have been found, giving paleontologists a good understanding of this animal's anatomy and behavior.

Albertosaurus shares many similarities with its more famous relative, Tyrannosaurus rex. It had a large, massive head, sharp teeth and powerful hind limbs adapted to running. It is thought that it probably hunted in packs, enabling it to tackle prey much larger than itself.

The fossilized remains of Albertosaurus also suggest cannibalistic behavior, with tooth marks found on the bones of some specimens, indicating that they sometimes fed on members of their own species.

Albertosaurus is therefore a fascinating dinosaur that has contributed to our understanding of the ecology and evolution of large predators in Late Cretaceous North America.
