Daspletosaurus

==Summary==
Daspletosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaurs, and was closely related to Tyrannosaurus rex. Its name means "frightful lizard." Three species have been identified: Daspletosaurus torosus, Daspletosaurus horneri, and Daspletosaurus wilsoni. It lived 78–74.4 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous, on the landmass of Laramidia, an island apart of North America when the continent was split by the Western Interior Seaway. It is thought to have coexisted alongside the albertosaurine Gorgosaurus, with niche partitioning limiting competition between the two tyrannosaurids.Farlow, James O.; Pianka, Eric R. (2002).
