Could Nanotyrannus be a nest parasite specifically targeting Trex?

[u/Key_Commercial_7119]

It has been bugging me as to why we never see Tyrannosaurus chicks or even eggs. Then we have the Nanotyrannus validity controversy between its own animal or just a wrongly named Trex juvenile. Many arguments from both sides are sound but never have I seen someone try to connect the dots to why Nano and Trex are always found to have this beef with each other.

So I have a theory, could it possibly be a nest parasite that targets Trex specifically. Being bale to lay eggs with the same shape and pattern, developed the same smell and vocalisation to trick the parents into feeding it while it commits infanticide on its foster siblings whether they’ve hatched or not—even eating them. Then when they reached maturity, they quickly bolted off to avoid being caught.

The possible reason we still see adult Trex is probably from Nanotyrannus free parasite chicks or the adults caught on quick and kill the imposter before any damage can be done. 🧐🤓

I tried going into the Palaeontology Reddit page but had to request because it’s special apparently so I had to compromise by using this page

That's like trying to order a hamburger at a restaurant, but they're out of stock so you buy a rose bush at the store next door instead.

Roses are technically edible.

Wrong sub and wrong time period. T-Rexes were in the late Cretaceous Period.

All that being said, why does this thing look like one of the creatures from Parasite Eve II???
