Gorgosaurus was a dinosaur in the Tyrannosauridae family that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period (about 76.5 to 75 million years ago). It is very similar to Albertosaurus, but some scholars classify it as a separate genus. A hind leg of a juvenile hadrosaur was found in the stomach contents, revealing its feeding habits.
