The theory that Tyrannosaurus was purely a scavenger is is just plain wrong. While they would have eaten carcasses like any other predator, there is a ton of fossil evidence that shows Tyrannosaurus was very much an active predator. Dinosaurs were also warm blooded and would have needed to eat at much regular intervals than crocodiles
Did you actually read any of that? because it supports what I said that Tyrannosaurus was not a pure scavenger and provides multiple examples of how the scavenger hypothesis is wrong. Jack Horner’s hypothesis has been securely debunked both by fossil evidence on animals that would have been prey for tyrannosaurus and by what we can confidently ascertain from studying the biomechanics of Tyrannosaurs themselves. If you use modern predators as a example, none purely subsist off scavenging. All modern predators engage in both behaviours and it stands to reason that T-rex did the same.
