Lips may have hidden T rex's fierce teeth

[Still Waters]

Its image is one of a fierce predator who towered over most others, baring dozens of jagged, bone-crushing teeth.

But new research out of Toronto seeks to challenge depictions of the Tyrannosaurus rex, suggesting that its fearsome incisors might have been hidden behind a pair of lips.

Great now the image of a huge, feathered killing machine wearing bright red lipstick will be stuck in my head, forever.

The Theropod lips theory has been bounced around for some time. I stand in the middle ground, they may have had lips, but its unlikely they fully covered the teeth. Especially in particularly long-toothed genuses like Ceratosaurus.
