Since the Cambrian species outbreak, the earth has experienced 5 species extinctions, some oversized animals gradually disappeared, the development so far, carnivores, of course, the cat family is the most powerful, in most continents, almost all cats are the king.
For example, in the forests of Asia, the tiger and leopard are creatures that stand at the top of the food chain; in the African savanna, the lion group is the most powerful presence; in the tropical rainforest of South America, the jaguar is the king of the forest; in North America, the mountain lion is the king.
Small and medium-sized cats, although not as dazzling as the big cats, are also very strong, and in their respective food chain levels, they are also the existence of kings.
Historically, China is a "tiger country", with the world's largest number of tiger subspecies, including extinct, the world's 9 tiger subspecies, 5 distributed in China, respectively, South China tiger, Northeast Tiger, Bengal tiger, Indochina tiger and Xinjiang tiger, the number is also located in the world's largest.
Before the 1950s, tigers existed in the vast majority of forests across the country. Only after the 1950s, the population increased rapidly, and the intervention in nature became more and more obvious, resulting in an intensification of conflicts between humans and wild animals, and tigers became the main hunting targets of people, and they were hunted on a large scale.

The southwest hinterland is a relatively well-preserved ecological environment in China, due to traffic congestion, humans rarely set foot, which has become a paradise for wild animals, and there are still many endangered and precious animals living there.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an animal called "Tyrannosaurus" living in Sichuan, which was as big as a tiger, more accurately smaller than the Siberian tiger, but larger than the South China tiger, covered in black, a bit like an enlarged version of the black panther, with obvious dark spots on the face, like a face of hemp, so in Sichuan dialect, people also called it "hemp tiger".
From the physical point of view, the tyrannosaurus should be a feline, but according to the international study of the phylogeny and evolution of felines, there is no tyrannosaurus or similar word, so it is not certain that the tyrannosaurus must be a feline, or not.
After all, there are some very similar animals, they are not necessarily in the same family, such as raccoons and raccoons, one belongs to the canine family, one belongs to the raccoon family.
According to earlier visits to some villagers who claimed to have heard of the Tyrannosaurus, this "hemp tiger" looks black from a distance, but it is not the same thing when you look closely, to be precise, its hair is dark purple, or red to black, with luster. In addition, compared to tigers, the Tyrannosaurus has a larger forehead and a shorter mouth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > are good at ambushing prey at short distances and moving together in pairs</h1>
Tyrannosaurus also hunts by ambush, but their ambush circle is larger than that of tigers, that is, they charge at a distance from their prey.
They would swoop out of the trees and in the grass and run straight for their prey, which the Tyrannosaurus was good at chasing for short distances and quickly put the prey down.
Although the hunting scene of the Tyrannosaurus rex is on the ground, because the vast majority of large animals live on land, according to the descriptions of the villagers, they seem to be very good at climbing trees, the level is not below the leopard, and they also roam and rest on the branches on weekdays, but do not hunt in the trees like leopards.
Tigers are highly solitary cats, and even paired male and female tigers are only briefly together during estrus, and the male tiger leaves after the tigress is conceived.
But the Tyrannosaurus is in pairs, resting, hunting, and eating together, like lions, but not on the sheer size of lions.
The Tyrannosaurus is a very loyal animal to "marriage", and when it becomes an adult, it will leave its parents to wander, and after meeting the other half of the pair, it will enclose the land, form a small family, and begin to live a settled life. Male tyrannosaurs do not resemble male tigers, the territory often contains 2-5 female tigers, and the male and female of the tyrannosaurus are together for life and will not be separated.

In the forest, a Tyrannosaurus rex is strong enough, not to mention that they are still in pairs, so it is said that tigers are rarely seen in the forest where the Tyrannosaurus appears, because from the ecological niche, they are too similar, and there is naturally a strong interspecific competition.
The South China Tigers are not yet the opponents of the Overlord, let alone the "mixed doubles" of their husbands and wives? So in the forest, the tyrannosaur occupies the core area of the rich prey resources, and the tigers and leopards are driven to the edge of the forest and have to increase the proportion of prey on livestock.
The Tyrannosaurus rex became extinct around 1523, and since then there have been fewer legends and sources about them that many people have never even heard of their names.
Some sources show that the Tyrannosaurus is native to the tropical hilly regions of far East Asia, and later migrated to the Sichuan Basin and settled there until it finally became extinct.
I have checked a lot of information, including undocumented folk rumors, did not mention how the tyrannosaurus disappeared, it is reasonable to say that there was no modern industry at that time, human intervention in nature is not large, human factors can basically be ruled out, more may be its own reasons.
In modern archaeological data, there is almost no record of the tyrannosaurus, and so far no fossil has been found, so experts speculate that the tyrannosaurus may be like many folklore animals, or that people at that time, according to the animals they saw, after adding oil and vinegar to describe it, spread more and more like that.
From the description of the posture of the tyrannosaurus, it is likely that it is a genetically mutated golden leopard, or a tiger, because in reality there is indeed a phenomenon of blackening of leopards, but the leopards in China rarely appear blackening, and the ancients did not know it. In any case, the existence of the Overlord Is impossible to verify.
