Was mighty T-Rex 'Sue' felled by a lowly parasite?


When looking at the giant T-rex, the Chicago museum likes to call "Sue", you think of all the things that that t-rex has once encounter in its life millions and millions years ago. You see holes in her jaw which they had thought to be nothing more then a fight with another dinosaur gone wrong, But some new information was brought to everyones attention.
Turns out the Giant seven ton dinosaur had a parasite in it, that still affects most common birds today. Its an avain parasitic infection called trichomononsis. From that infection the T-rex, that spread to maybe throat and mouth, the T-rex starved to death. For more information heres the link http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090929133117.htm
