Tarbosaurus

* Dinosaurs Battle World Championship
* Paleoart

***Tarbosaurus*** is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that flourished in Asia about 70 million years ago, at the end of the Late Cretaceous Period. Fossils have been recovered in Mongolia, with more fragmentary remains found further afield in parts of China. Although many species have been named, modern paleontologists recognize only one, *T. bataar*, as valid. Some experts see this species as an Asian representative of the North American genus *Tyrannosaurus*; this would make the genus *Tarbosaurus* redundant. *Tarbosaurus* and Tyrannosaurus, if not synonymous, are considered to be at least closely related genera. Alioramus, also from Mongolia, has previously been thought by some authorities to be the closest relative of *Tarbosaurus*, though this has since been disproven with the discovery of Qianzhousaurus and the description of the Alioramini. Like most known tyrannosaurids, *Tarbosaurus* was a large bipedal predator, weighing up to seven tonnes and equipped with about sixty large teeth. It had 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* lived in a humid floodplain criss-crossed by river channels. In this environment, it was an apex predator, probably preying on other large dinosaurs like the hadrosaur Saurolophus or the sauropod Nemegtosaurus. *Tarbosaurus* is represented by dozens of fossil specimens, including several complete skulls and skeletons. These remains have allowed scientific studies focusing on its phylogeny, skull mechanics, and brain structure.

## Fight with Talarurus

The match begins as two Talaruruses (Possibly Yellow and Blue) made their entrances, stepping their hind legs, swinging their tails, then bellow. While the Tarbosaurus also makes his entrance, steps on his right foot and emits out a roar. With eye to eye, both dinosaurs faced each other, as the Talaruruses bellow, then steps forward til the Tarbosaurus makes his roar, they jumped through the air and curled into balls (just like what Ankylosaurs do). They tried to hit the Tyrannosaur but it was unsuccessful, it dodged the attack. While landing, the Tarbosaurus runs towards them, they jumped off their sideways to prepare to attack the tyrannosaur, as the Tarbosaurus notices, the Talaruruses fist-bumping on each other, as they rolled towards the tyrannosaur, making the Tarbosaurus roars out in agony. He charges to the Yellow Talarurus, while the Blue one rolls onto his back, dodges its attack, and thrashes out using her tail, then lands. They Yellow one does it the same, the Tarbosaurus dodges its attack, making the Yellow Talarurus lay on the ground, then it steps onto its head, knocking it out.

The Yellow Talarurus makes her escape, the Tarbosaurus wants his kill, as the Blue Talarurus rolls along, so does the Yellow Talarurus. It attacks the tyrannosaur using its spikes, so does the Blue one. Making him stand positively, the Tarbosaurus roars out into enragement, the duo rolls again, as he roars out. The Yellow Talarurus makes the mist made of the hole, while the Blue Talarurus falls over, making the ground shake, then the Tarbosaurus escapes, as he knows where was it fighting like kung-fu style, it trashes the duo onto the ground. Then the Tarbosaurus leaps to the Yellow Talarurus, smashing it using his right foot, eliminating it instantly.

The Blue Talarurus was furious because of the apparent loss of its mate, it rolls again as the Tarbosaurus makes his strike, tossing it away. Then the Tarbosaurus, swings the Blue Talarurus harder, harder, and harder...

To the result of the Blue Talarurus, killing it using its jaws, letting off his kill. The Tarbosaurus has won the fight and roars out in victory.
