There were multiple Tyrannosaurs in North America before Trex, and Gorgosaurus wasn’t the last tyrannosaur before the Trex’s ancestor migrated from Asia, so I wouldn’t call Gorgosaurus “the king before trex” because over millions of years there were multiple “kings”, some even coexisted with each other like Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus, I think a better topic for a video should be about Lythronax, which is the oldest known tyrannosaurid from North America, I guess you could call it the “first king”

Albertosaurus was a bit bulkier and bigger than Gorgosaurus, but Gorgosaurus would've had a stronger bite.

It's remarkable that several different Tyrannosaurs had very short arms. How such a design was adaptive is not an easy question. All of them apparently used their head almost exclusively as a hunting weapon, their arms being useless for such purposes. Maybe they also could use 1 foot for the attack while balancing on their other foot as well as their tail.

All good stuff.

@@TheSandwhichman108 You didn't mention intelligence in your first post, you mentioned brain size, which has only some indication of intelligence, and the T-rex brain cavity is similar in overall scale to a Blue Whales or Humans, major differences are that the T-rex has the largest temporal and occipital lobes ever measured in a brain cavity, while it's frontal lobe while still large by animal standards is smaller in relation to it's rather enlarged other lobes, it's proportionally very similar to modern raptors and vultures, just at a much larger scale. And raptors are known for their intelligence and eyesight and vultures for their intelligence and sense of smell. I haven't read any literature on Gorgosaurus brain cavity, but I would wager it's similarly shaped to T-rex, just scaled down to it's smaller skull and would therefore have similar characteristics in overall intelligence since they are both Tyrannosaurs.
