Tyrannosaurus rex was a sensitive lover, new dinosaur discovery suggests

Tyrannosaurs had sensitive snouts that they may have enjoyed rubbing together while mating, scientists say

It made its name by terrorising Earth at the end of the Late Cretaceous, but Tyrannosaurus rex had a sensitive side too, researchers have found.

The fearsome carnivore, which stood 20 feet tall and ripped its prey to shreds with dagger-like teeth, had a snout as sensitive to touch as human fingertips, say scientists.
