Tarbosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur belonging to the group Tyrannosauridae. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70 to 65 million years ago. The first fossils of Tarbosaurus were discovered in Mongolia in the early 1950s, providing a valuable glimpse into this impressive dinosaur.

Tarbosaurus was a theropod that was a part of the tyrannosaur genus. It was up to 40 feet or 12 metres in length, it had large hind legs and small front limbs or arms and moved bipedally. It lived during the late cretaceous period in Asia. Even though there has been discoveries of many tarbosaur species, only one is considered scientifically verified (Tarbosaurus Bataar).

It lived in wet floodplains where food (other dinosaurs) was abundant and it was the top of the food chain.

Tarbosaurus is often seen as the asian variant and a close relative of the very famous tyrannosaurus rex. It is very similar to Trex in size and looks. The closest dinosaur to tarbosaurus would be the alioramus, that was found in Mongolia. Alioramus also lived during the late cretaceous period.
