Daspletosaurus was among the large predators of Late Cretaceous North America. It had a substantial skull, powerful hind legs and short arms. It probably both hunted and used carrion.

Daspletosaurus torosus was named in 1970, although its fossils had been discovered earlier. Canadian material informs studies of tyrannosaurids, their growth and evolution.
