The finding is based on new analytical methods, likely involving metabolic proxies such as bone growth rates or oxygen isotope data, which suggest T. rex maintained a constant body temperature internally.
The claim is reported by Scientific American, a reputable secondary source, and is based on a peer-reviewed study. The primary source is likely a paper in a scientific journal, but the headline does not specify the journal or authors, so the exact methodology and strength of evidence cannot be confirmed from this item alone. The underlying science is plausible and aligns with prior research on dinosaur thermophysiology, but the reporting is a summary of the study's conclusions.
The item is presented as current news, with no recirculation year provided, so it should be treated as newly reported.
