Albertosaurus

Albertosaurus was a Tyrannosaurid dinosaur that lived around 80 million years ago. It could attain a length of 11 meters (about 33 feet) and height of 4 meters (about 12-13 feet). It weighed about 1.5 tons. At one time Albertosaurus was thought to be the same as Gorgosaurus, another Tyrannosaurid, but now there two seperate animals. Albertosaurus had a big number of plant eaters to feed on, including the headbutting Pachycephalosaurus.

Like it's larger relative Tyrannosaurus rex, Albertosaurus was heterodont, meaning that it had different shaped teeth for different purposes; as humans do. It was a fearsome predator that may have hunted in packs.

Jurassic Park Series
Albertosaurus doesn't appear in the original novels or movies. It does appear in many Jurassic Park inspired games.

Jurassic Park inspired games
Albertosaurus made it's first appearance in the video game Jurassic Park: Trespasser. It can kill Anne with a single bite. First time it's seen after fall from a cliff, hunting for Parasaurolophus. Second two times it can be seen in the Ascent level. First time it can be killed thanks to mounted to a wreck, machine gun and second two times with the Toxic gun, when it recommends a single shot to be killed.

Albertosaurus is also included in Warpath: Jurassic Park, as the final dinosaur to unlock. It's area is Universal Studios. Its moves are the same as Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus.

It is seen in the video game, Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis as a three-star small carnivore, from the Judith River Group: Site A. More lightly built than it's cousins such as Tyrannosaurus, it forages alone for smaller prey but will gang up to bring down large herbivores. Even so, they don't like attacking larger dinosaurs such as Brachiosaurus or Camarasaurus. Albertosaurus is the only known dinosaur in JPOG to kill diseased/sickly members of it's species. It is the only carnivore that needs low security fences. Even though having three stars, the dinosaur can coexist with the two Dilophosaurus and the five star Velociraptor.

Albertosaurus is one of the Carnivores that can be created from paleo-DNA in Jurassic Park III: Park Builder.

Albertosaurus is featured in the DVD game Jurassic Park: Explorer. A player earns a dinosaur when he/she wins a minigame, when the earned dinosaur is a Albertosaurus this video will be shown. The Albertosaurus in this game was actually, a recolored Tyrannosaurus. Presumably when the game was made, the developers did not have enough time to create an Albertosaurus, so they reused a T-rex to portray the dinosaur. This also happened with the Allosaurus. However, the Albertosaurus was related with the T-rex, as mentioned before.
