    **CORRECTION** "Distant relative" to Tyrannosaurus Rex, not earliest ancestor.
    Alternate theory: The leg injury and rough chest/jaw bone "could" all be related results of a horrible fall. Basically, the bone on its face and chest could have healed that way after the fall/fight that broke its leg. Fascinating!

    Bone cancer is a horribly painful ailment. That giant probably suffered for some time. I wonder what sort of self-soothing behaviors it might have exhibited during its downtime. It’s hard to imagine such a deadly predator in so much pain.
    Even if it was due to an injury from a fall, bone damage is still tremendously painful.

      Because of what it is. At the core it's just the instructions in one of your cells being damaged in such a way it disables self-destruct and makes the cell figure it's always time to divide. It's as old as genetics in a sense.

      Cancer isn't a disease, it's runaway regeneration. The same mechanism that allowed you to grow and allows you to heal.
      So ever since life was capable of replication cancer was a possibility.
      I wonder if it's possible that uncontrollable cell growth came before the markers to stop the growth evolved, so cancer may in a way predate cellular life as we know it

    The injuries that dinosaurs had are both amazing AND terrifying.
    Plus many showed healing. Even an allosaurus that got groin shot by a stegosaurus.
    160 million year old injury that can still cause humans to cringe with empathic pain.
    Or a hadrosaur that was bitten in the back by a T-Rex, had a tooth break off in the spine, and healed from such an injury.
    I figured a T-Rex bite was as bad as a Komodo Dragons bite! Seriously.
    Apparently Triceratops regularly stabbed each other with their horns, and ankylosaurs fought each other with their club tails (injuries on bones and plates match the thagomizers).
    Seriously. It took an asteroid ☄️ and a volcanic apocalypse to kill these guys off…..the big ones at least.
    We still have reptiles and birds. So their decedents are no slouches either.

    Has anyone else noticed how Americans are really into the T.Rex? It used to really annoy me how OBSESSED USA museums/historians were with the T.Rex and it’s relatives. Nowhere else in the world is like this, apart from maybe China but the CCP is weird. But then I learned that the T.Rex lived in the USA and you like it so much because it’s yours. That makes it a bit better but you’ve got terror bird skeletons and Dire Wolves skeletons too. But I’m an autist and prefer outer space so maybe I’m just biased.

    I've seen some bones like these when inspecting some of my (more contemporary) bones, but from what I've seen, it doesn't necessarily have to be an osteosarcoma, instead it can be an injury with a callus forming. However, I also just can't really tell just from this footage, it's possible that it was osteosarcoma. A malnourished racing pigeon whom I captured for rehab (unfortunately didn't make it) had a calloused phalanx bone which looked similar to this.

      Correct. This specific display is a replica of the real specimen held in another institution.
      Just like our Triceratops is ~85% complete and real in our possession on display, and other institutions have a replica of our real Triceratops.
      Furthermore, the real specimen of this Gorgosaurus skull was brought to Houston and scanned in one of our Oncology hospital labs. Low and behold, evidence of brain cancer in the brain case.
      Not that these facts will convince the entrenched. Just like proof the Earth is round will never convince a Flat Earther. Oh well. More knowledge for the rest of us.

      Cancer has existed for almost as long as multicellular life has - there are hundreds of fossils with abnormal bone growths caused by different types of cancer.

    Those look more like quill knobs on the face. Maybe they had something akin to whiskers seeing as they used their mouth for everything when interacting with the world.

    Yes, when you are a biologist or a paleontologist, natural science graduate, everything looks simple and basic ... Everything looks simple and basic so it is a mystery why biologists can't re-create even the simplest self-replicating cell, let alone something multicellular like this dinosaur ...

      We could theoretically create cells, in fact we almost have. But there have been technological limits sometimes. And a lot of the time we are concerned about the ethics of such ideas.

    Isn’t it ( shouldn’t it be ) that The first ‘generation’ of dinosaurs found were comparatively smaller & less complicated than The more recently discovered dinosaurs ? Kind of like they were all made up from the beginning, & their creators just decided to make ‘better’ dinosaurs as they kept making them ( ? )

    Gorgosaurus one of the earliest relatives? Like what? Its not early for a tyrannosauroid by long shot and it isnt early for a tyrannosaurid. Every video you throw out statements that are either weirdly unspecific or factually wrong.
    You guys are the scientists, how about actually using the scientific method? You guys are science commincators afterall.

      Good catch. I definitely meant to say "distant relative". Big difference. Will correct in pinned comment.
