Tyrannosaur that Swam in the Shallow End (Earth Times) (1 Viewer)

Could a tyrannosaur wade or swim after prey? While the two-legged dinosaurs were taller and better able to cross water than some four legged species, there is little evidence to assess how they dealt with hunting or migrating in water.

More from Earth Times
 
I saw a presentation on an Appalachiosaurus (related species) that hinted the same 'semi-aquatic' habits several years ago. Interesting.
 
Theropod dinosaurs (which included Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor) had system of air sacs like birds. So if Tyrannosaurus got into water, it would likely float like a duck.
