Tarbosaurus

Tarbosaurus was a powerful dinosaur, discovered first in China, but now more fossils from Mongolia. It lived 80 million years ago and was the top predator of Asia in it's time. It, being a close relative of Tyrannosaurus is also the same size but has a stronger bite, making it more powerful. Unlike it's close cousin, Tyrannosaurus, it hunted larger prey like the Sauropod Nemgetosaurus. It also hunted well armoured prey which even Tyrannosaurus couldn't kill, like Ankylosaurus, Euplocephalas and Tricerotops. It was a more formidable competitor to the tiny Velociraptor and could have fed on even Therizinosaurus despite it's formidable claws.
