Albertosaurus

In Real Life
Albertosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaurs that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70 million years ago. The type species, A. sarcophagus, was apparently restricted in range to the modern-day Canadian province of Alberta, after which the genus is named, although an indeterminate species has been discovered in the Corral de Enmedio and Packard Formations in Mexico. Scientists disagree on the content of the genus, with some recognizing Gorgosaurus libratus as a second species. As a tyrannosaurid, Albertosaurus was a bipedal predator with tiny, two-fingered hands and a massive head that had dozens of large, sharp teeth. It may have been at the top of the food chain in its local ecosystem. While Albertosaurus was large for a theropod, it was much smaller than its larger and more famous relative Tyrannosaurus rex, growing 9 to 10 m (30 to 33 ft) and possibly weighing 2.5 tonnes (2.8 short tons) or less. Since the first discovery in 1884, fossils of more than 30 individuals have been recovered, providing scientists with a more detailed knowledge of Albertosaurus anatomy than is available for most other tyrannosaurids. The discovery of 26 individuals at one site provides evidence of pack behaviour and allows studies of ontogeny and population biology, which are impossible with lesser-known dinosaurs.

In Prehistory
Albertosaurus is an excellent choice. Not only is it extremely fast, but it does a great deal of damage. Not as much as the previous Sub Rex, but that is made up for in an extra amount of bleed output. It walks decently fast but it has a fairly mediocre trot speed. It also can smell dead bodies from a mile away, just like its Tier 5 counterpart, Tyrannosaurus rex. Albertosaurus is good at hunting smaller ceratopsians and Iguanodonts such as Iguanodon and Pachyrhinosaurus due to its good combination of raw power and bleed damage. Albertosaurus mostly compete for land with the Allosaurus. It isn't confirmed who would win in a fight with these two, but most players agree that Albertosaurus is the better operator in terms of combat, unless the Allosaurus gets a good hit and run tactic going; Allo may be the slower of the two, but a good Allo play can implement this tactic by somehow tiring the Alberto out, making it unable to run after the Allo mid fight. Not to mention Alberto's vast damage advantage. But still, Alberto vs Allo remains a debate in the Prehistory community. Albertosaurus has replaced the former Sub Adult Tyrannosaurus. If a herbivore is not around, an Alberto can easily snack on a weary Ceratosaurus as it is faster and stronger, making it a natural predator for Cerato.
