Hello, hello. Welcome to the video.
Quite often, the focus of the mega-theropod obsession is on the largest, strongest, and most iconic mega-theropods. Or in other words, Tyrannosaurus. And if it’s not Tyrannosaurus, its usually Giganotosaurus or Spinosaurus.
In this, “The Power of” series of videos, I want to look at what I guess you’d call more “mid-tier” mega-theropod dinosaurs. This is stuff like your Acrocanthosaurus, your Allosaurus anax, and the subject of this video, Tarbosaurus.
