The Western Hemisphere. General term for the Americas following their discovery by Europeans, thus setting them in contradistinction to the Old World of Africa, Europe, and Asia.
the ones that were fast enough were predators. The ones that weren't fast enough were scavengers.
Even modern predators will steal a kill if they can. They are opportunists. They will also go after the young or the old and cut them out of a herd whenever possible. No reason whatsoever to think that T-Rex operated any differently.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
And all these years they were thought to be cold blooded based on a single tooth?
I'll tell another that's even more ridiculous kb. When Cope and March were digging up fossils like weeds the only comparable effort in Europe was small, so some of the museums cried 'foul'. The result was that casts were taken from some of the largest examples the Cope and March had recovered and offered to museums in Europe.
Now at that time 'everybody' new that Dinos were simply overgrown lizards, so the Berlin museum mounted one of these large Dinos with splayed legs, Croc fashion.
The snag was that mounted in such a fashion its feet didn't reach the ground! The problem was overcome in a typically Teutonic efficient manner by standing the mounted skeleton on four pillars with the ribs nearer the deck!!!
Quite how the 'experts' seem to think such a beast could have walked remains a mystery.
Fortunately the whole abortion was destroyed by allied bombs during WW2!
I haven't been able to find one RS. The one I had was in a book from some years ago that I no longer have. It was included in a chapter about the 'battles' between Cope and Marsh and how the Americans had donated casts.
It's worth noting as an aside that, despite the evidence to the contrary, that Dinos are still classified as Reptilia. It takes a long time for the establishment to change anything.

In view of the evidence of a four chambered heart Min I'm curious as to where the establishment might place them in the future.
No reptile to my knowledge has a four chambered heart.

Birds have 4-chambered hearts, too. The connection seems fairly obvious.

Reminds me of something I spotted in a write up for an old North Africa wargame. The British army apparently had a 90mm anti-aircraft gun on hand and they stood by watching while the Germans used their 88mm anti-aircraft guns to blow up British tanks. As the saying went, " if they wanted it to be used as an anti-tank gun they wouldn't have called it an anti-aircraft gun, would they?"
Similarly, "if they weren't reptiles why did they called them "saurus" to begin with."
