Albertosaurus appeared in the 2012 TV series called Primeval New World. Albertosaurus was a large predator species of theropod dinosaur, related to Tyrannosaurus Rex, from the Cretaceous period. A huge predatory theropod closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex, Albertosaurus was physically very similar to its cousin, but it was distinguishable from T. Rex by a somewhat smaller and sleeker build, and two small, horn-like crests located above each eye. Though less powerful than T. Rex, Albertosaurus was also faster and much more agile, able to gallop forth with great bursts of speed which made it very difficult both to outrun and to chase down. It was also still strong enough both to head-ram objects with sufficient force to fatally injure a human or to send a van hurtling, and to easily crush and kill a human in its jaws.
Albertosaurus was highly aggressive towards practically anything that moved; it was known to run down and eat alive smaller animals it tracked and homed in on when hunting, and it would even snap its jaws to try and catch creatures passing in its sights while it was distracted running. Albertosaurus was an extremely dangerous predator towards smaller animals who were alone or in small numbers of no more than four, but when surrounded by much larger numbers of humans, or when spooked by fire or by an EMD blast, Albertosaurus would quickly opt to flee.
