  "account": "Scientists have determined that the Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur was warm-blooded, with a body temperature similar to that of a human, according to a study published in the journal Science Advances. Researchers analyzed the chemical makeup of enamel in three T. rex teeth unearthed in Montana, finding a body temperature of 97.3°F (36.3°C), plus or minus 4.5°F (2.5°C). This finding contradicts the notion of the T. rex as a sluggish and cold-blooded creature, as its warm-bloodedness makes it more akin to elephants or ostriches in terms of temperature regulation.",
