它就能冲过去用它的长嘴咬住幼龙，用力摇晃杀死它后逃跑。

But Nanotyrannus underestimates his opponent.

不过矮暴龙低估了对手。

Fueled by raging levels of adrenaline, she spins and turns, avoiding his flanking move.

雌霸王龙的肾上腺激素水平暴涨，它立刻转过身阻挡住了矮暴龙的进攻。

不过对于霸王龙妈妈来说，杀死矮暴龙还不够泄愤。

She wants to use him as a message to any other Nanotyrannus that comes into this area.

它要用这矮暴龙来传递一条信息，警告任何来的这片领地的矮暴龙。

Nanotyrannus and T-Rex, because they're in Western North America,

矮暴龙和霸王龙都身处北美洲西部。

they may have even seen the flash of their doom, the great explosion in the Yucatan Peninsulawhen an asteroid hit it, ending the age of dinosaurs.

它们可能都看到了末日之光，那在尤卡坦半岛的猛烈爆炸，一颗小行星撞到那里终结了恐龙的时代。

The big meat eaters like T-Rex and Nanotyrannus, would have actually had a short period oftime when they did really well.

It was too bad for T-Rex and Nano, they were gone, too.

这对霸王龙和矮暴龙来说太糟了，它们也一样灭绝了。

Gone, but not forgotten.

消失了，不过没被忘记。

The final moments of T-Rex and Nanotyrannus may never be fully known.
