Tyrannosaurus might be the most famous dinosaur, but its sleeker evolutionary relatives Albertosaurus and Gorgosaurus have always had a special place in my heart. Here's a brief spot about Albertosaurus from the series Jurassic Fight Club (which is about as much as I can handle without becoming frustrated over something or other in the show), featuring (among other tyrannosaur experts) Thomas Holtz, who is celebrating a birthday today;

Ahhhhhh man. In both a excited, and dreading tone.
I've been waiting forever for someone to FINALLY set a CG show in Alberta... Dinosaur Park is so well known, and yet everything gets Americanized to Montana.
Sadly George should have talked to Dr. Currie a bit more about that climate change thing! The findings in Alberta show that Gorgasaur, Albertosaur, and Daspletosaur all occur in his warming climate period where T-Rex and the mega fauna appear in a NEW cooling trend that cools right to the KT. Hence why T-Rex was wandering a larger NA continent, the inland seas went away as the planet cooled.
Nice to see Albertosaurus animated again (Prehistoric Park beat them to that... but they were Texan Albertosaurs) though!

I don't care how bad this show is, I don't care how bad this episode is. Albertosaurus sarcophagus is my favorite dinosaur, practically to a fanatic degree, and I love the fact that it's FINALLY getting a little bit of spotlight. Such an awesome animal, yet so often overlooked. :(
