Tyrannosaurus rex was the top predator of its habitat, so its main function was to keep the other dinosaurs' populations under control by eating the weak, sick and young, and also keeping the environment clean by eating dead animals.

Where is a dinosaurs natural habitat?

There were thousands of different species of dinosaurs, and different species lived in different places and habitats at different times. Dinosaurs lived on every continent between 250 and 65.5 million years ago. Some dinosaurs lived in the desert, such as Velociraptor, Protoceratops, and Coelophysis. Other dinosaurs lived on semi-arid plains that were covered in ferns and had scattered forests. Such dinosaurs include Diplodocus, Brachiosaurus, Dryosaurus, Allosaurus, and Stegosaurus. That type of habitat no longer exists, though, as it has been replaced by grasslands. Other dinosaurs lived in swamps, such as Spinosaurus, or on coastal floodplains, such as Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Corythosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus. There were even dinosaurs in Antarctica's polar forests, which were somewhat similar to the boreal forests of Canada today. These include Antarctosaurus, Antarctopelta, Cryolophosaurus, and Leaellynasaura.
