Scientifically accurate paleoart of Daspletosaurus, a carnivore Tyrannosauridae dinosaur from Campanian–Maastrichtian times (83.6–66 million years ago). Bipedal with the back held roughly horizontal and the tail held straight out behind for balance, never dragging on the ground. NOT standing upright like a kangaroo. Mouth closed with all teeth fully hidden behind scaly lips, like a monitor lizard. NO visible teeth. Hands held tucked in near the chest with the palms facing inward toward each other, like clapping, claws curving inward and forward. NOT hanging down, NOT palms-down, NOT claws pointing at the ground. Reference: Daspletosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur that lived in Laramidia between about 79 and 74.4 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period. The genus Daspletosaurus contains three named species. Fossils of the earlier type species, D. torosus, have been found in Alberta, while fossils of a later species, D. horneri, have been found in Montana and Alberta. Anatomy: three main weight-bearing toes on each foot; skin predominantly covered in small scales; massive deep skull, short two-fingered arms, powerful hind legs. Full body in side view, whole animal visible, standing in a Late Cretaceous landscape with conifers, ferns and early flowering plants, no grass lawns. Natural history museum illustration style, realistic textures and natural daylight, muted natural colors. No text, no labels, no humans, no modern objects.
