Dogs (i.e. wolves) have a wonderful sense of smell, but this is not
considered an adaptation for scavenging so far as I know.  Could the
olfactory bulb (and therefore the sense of smell) in _T.rex_ be
interpreted the same as the sense of smell in wolves?  

Just a question, because everyone seems to be accepting that a keen sense
of smell would automatically mean that an animal was a scavenger.
