A recent study from the University of California, Berkeley, revealed that over several million years, about 2.5 billion Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
The research looked at the 127,000 generations, between 1.2 and 3.6 million years of existence, along with sexual maturity of 14 to 17 years and maximum life of 28 years. Due to the size of the T-Rex, it was also established that the carnivore requires a substantial amount of energy, which ultimately means a lower population density – it was established that there were about two in a place the size of Washington. , DC, or 3,800 in California.
Although this is only an approximate estimate, with a large margin of error, it provides a suitable reason why only about 100 fossils have been found. Charles Marshall, director of the University of California’s Museum of Paleontology, comments that if there were only 2.5 million T. rexes instead of 2.5 billion, we probably never knew it existed.
