T-rex had forward-facing eyes, which gave it binocular vision. [[Vision|Binocular vision]] is usually present in carnivores, as it gives them better depth perception and helps them catch their prey<ref>[http://www.nhm.org/mammals/page010.html Natural History Museum - Mammals - Eat or be Eaten]</ref>, therefore it is very likely that Tyrannosaurus was a carnivore. Young earth creationists believe that the Tyrannosaurus, along with all other carnivores, was herbivorous in the [[Garden of Eden]] before the Fall, but afterwards they likely adopted [[carnivore|carnivory]].

Some have suggested that T-rex was exclusively a scavenger. This may be partially true, since most carnivores today will happily scavenge available meat. However, it probably was not an ''exclusive'' scavenger, as most meat-eaters must also hunt in order to survive. T-rex's jaws were also quite adaptive to grabbing live prey, and probably used them in the same way most carnivores do: bit the throat to either crush the larynx and thus kill by suffocation or through blood loss. Also, the T-rex's large body probably required a great amount of food and therefore scavenging probably wouldn't be sufficient to support its high metabolism.<ref>http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3790/is_200103/ai_n8932547|</ref>

Evolutionists speculate that tyrannosaurs may have had feather precursors.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosaurus#Feathers Tyrannosaurus] (Wikipedia).</ref>  However, fossils do not show feathers but merely pebbly skin impressions, which are typical of other dinosaurs. Feathers would certainly not have benefited the huge tyrannosaurus, any more than it would an elephant or a hippopotamus.<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2007/04/13/t-rex-big-chicken] (Answers in Genesis)</ref>.  Tyrannosaurs probably had a thick subcutaneous layer, which would insulate them during cold times. Also, since the tyrannosaurus probably lived in a tropical climate, it wouldn't need insulation. However, the young may have had a downy coat, like some modern birds.{{fact}}
