Thick peg-like teeth, huge jaw muscles, and a rigidly constructed skull: that was the winning combination. Without any of these things, T. rex would have been a normal theropod, slicing and dicing its prey with care. That’s how the other big boys did it—Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, and the carcharodontosaurs—because they didn’t have the arsenal necessary for bone-crunching. Once again, the King stands alone.
