Comparision of the tyrannosaurs rex to the raptorex
The infamous Tyrannosaurs rex is referred to as "Jaws on fast-running legs." Its defined characteristics including enormous jaws, resulting with a large head, it's 2.5 ton weight, and puny arms makeup the terrifying predator. Yet the creature wasn't always this large. A team of American and Chinese scientists just announced the discovery or a 125 million year old animal with the same distinctive features as the T. rex but about 1/100 of the weight. They have named this new dinosaur a Raptorex. Through an exploration of the fossils scientists are able to conclude that the Raptorex lived in a very competitive area using their mouths as their primary weapon, similar to t. rex's.
