Tyrannosaurus (NuGen)

Tyrannosaurus notoregina (name meaning "false tyrant lizard queen") is a species of Tyrannosaurus, a species of large carnivorous non-avian coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. Tyrannosaurus notoregina originally lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia, as an extinct spcies, Tyrannosaurus regina (although T. regina may actually be T. rex), but has since been brought back from extinction by NuGen, using some DNA contained in some preserved soft tissue and using genetic engineering, and, unlike SciiFii's first two Tyrannosaurus rex subspecies, has been deliberately introduced throughout the modern wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and open shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. Like other tyrannosaurids, Tyrannosaurus notoregina is a bipedal grayish-brown-colored carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to its large and powerful hind limbs, Tyrannosaurus notoregina forelimbs are short but unusually powerful for their size and have two clawed digits. The largest specimens measures up to 12.3 metres (40 feet) in length, though T. rex americanum can grow to lengths of more than 12.3 metres (40 feet), up to 3.66 metres (12 feet) tall at the hips, and can weigh around 9 metric tons (10 short tons). Although other theropods rival or exceed Tyrannosaurus notoregina in size, it is still among the largest known land predators and has the strongest bite force among all terrestrial animals. By far the largest carnivore in its environment, Tyrannosaurus notoregina is an apex predator and it preys upon hadrosaurs, armored herbivores like ceratopsians and ankylosaurs, and small-to-medium-sized sauropods when it first lived during the Late Cretaceous, although it is also a scavenger and can steal kills from Acrocanthosaurus, Metriacanthosaurus, bears, big cats, wolves, and other terrestrial predators. Despite being a predator, Tyrannosaurus notoregina does not prey on mammals or any sapient species, most likely due to genetic manipulation from NuGen's scientists during the subspecies' (re)creation, and is instead considered a gentle giant towards mammals (including humans) and non-mammal sapient species. It has some light amount of small, hair-like feathers that cover the top of its head and neck, likely the ancestral features it retained from the ancestors of large tyrannosaurids such as Tyrannosaurus notoregina. It has gray eyebrow ridges when fully grown, which indicates a healthy individual. In contrary to myths and popular media, Tyrannosaurus notoregina does not roar, but makes slight growls and rumbles similar to that of alligators and booms similar to that to bitterns. Tyrannosaurus notoregina can live to be around 28-30 years old and are social pack hunters, usually consisting of family members, that consists of up to 7 individual. During the mating season, the males search for new partners until the males find the females who, after the males display their bright reddish gular pouches, may accept the offer to mate the males. About 15 eggs are laid around 3 months after the mating seasons, the eggs then hatch around 4-5 months after that, and the Tyrannosaurus notoregina chicks are cared for by their parents, sometimes the chicks cannibalizes other chicks, until they are almost fully grown, when they must fend for themselves. The conservation status of Tyrannosaurus notoregina is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the animal's wide range.
