T. rex mother and three Chicks
Tyrannosaurus rex, based on the evidence, was a good parent. In fact, they have found a few groups of fossilized Theropod dinosaurs that clearly lived and died together. This led paleontologists to infer that Theropods lived in packs. So it is possible that the entire Theropod pack took care of the young "chicks." So although this is a cartoon drawing for young kids to color, it is based on evidence. Since Crocodilians carry their young in their mouth it is easy to infer that Tyrannosaurs did the same.
