Tarbosaurus (SciiFii)

Tarbosaurus mongoliensis (name meaning "Mongolian alarming lizard"), or Tyrannosaurus mongoliensis, is a species of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived in Asia about 70 million years ago, at the end of the Late Cretaceous Period, as an extinct species, Tarbosaurus bataar, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and, unlike most large carnivorous non-avian theropods, have been intentionally introduced throughout the modern open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, and scrublands across eastern, southeastern, and southern mainland Asia to help boost biodiversity. Like most known tyrannosaurids, Tarbosaurus mongoliensis is a large bipedal predator, weighing up to five tonnes and is equipped with about sixty large teeth. It has a unique locking mechanism in its lower jaw and the smallest forelimbs relative to body size of all tyrannosaurids, renowned for their disproportionately tiny, two-fingered forelimbs. Tarbosaurus mongoliensis is an apex predator, primarily preying on other large non-avian dinosaurs like the hadrosaurs, iguanodonts, ceratopsids, and small-to-medium-sized sauropods, although it is known to feed on large birds and carrion of a wide variety of animals, including carcasses of mammals. Like Tyrannosaurus rex, Tarbosaurus mongoliensis is a social animal that lives in packs consisting of up to around 7 individuals at a time. During the mating season, the males fight over other males, until one male is injured (which can lead to a lost arm or two) or simply gives up, the winning male gets a right to mate. The eggs are laid around 3 months after the mating seasons, the eggs then hatch around 4-5 months after that, and the Tarbosaurus mongoliensis 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 Tarbosaurus mongoliensis is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and historic poaching, however, thanks to the conservationists, Tarbosaurus mongoliensis is a protected species.
