Adored by children and adults alike, tyrannosaurus is the most famous dinosaur in the world, one that pops up again and again in pop culture, often battling other beasts such as King Kong, triceratops, or velociraptors in Jurassic Park. But despite the hype, tyrannosaurus and the other tyrannosaurs are fascinating animals in their own right and are among the best-studied of all dinosaurs.
Tyrannosaurs started small but over the course of 100 million years evolved into the giant carnivorous bone crushers that continue to inspire awe in palaeontologists, screenplay writers, sci-fi novelists and the general public alike. Tyrannosaurus itself was truly impressive; it topped six tons, was more than 12 meters (40 feet) long and had the largest head and most powerful bite of any land animal in history.
The Tyrannosaur Chronicles tracks the rise of these dinosaurs and presents the latest research into their biology, showing off more than just their impressive statistics - tyrannosaurs had feathers and fought and even ate each other.
This audiobook presents the science behind this research; it tells the story of the group through their anatomy, ecology and behaviour, exploring how they came to be the dominant terrestrial predators of the Mesozoic era and, in more recent times, one of the great icons of biology.

Hone is engaging and entertaining while distributing the vital information in both an understandable yet thorough way. The narration was good, as well.
Hone has been a godsend for the Dino obsessed as much of his work is open access, he does a wonderful podcast, he wrote this book, his blog Archosaur Musings is a hidden treasure, and he has done many interviews and talks which can be found easily online.
After you’ve exhausted those, I suggest checking out work by Thomas Holtz, Steve Brussatte, Mark Witton, Darren Naish, Izir Ibrahim (sp?), Michael Habib, Brian Switek, Russell Hawley, Julia McHugh, John Hutinson, Lyle Carbutt, and so many more. It’s a wonderful time to be interested in this science and there’s an amazing amount of content out there.
I also suggest keeping up with the Utah Raptor Project and donating if possible.
Just so grateful for the opportunity to learn what seems like endless information on such an enthralling topic!
