Yutyrannus

Yutyrannus was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Yutyrannus lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145.0 to 100.5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.

Tyrant lizards

Large bipedal predators of the Late Cretaceous with massive skulls, powerful jaws, and tiny two-fingered forelimbs. Tyrannosaurus rex is the most famous member.

At 9.0 meters long and 1414.0 kg, Yutyrannus was roughly the length of a large SUV and comparable to 1.4 small cars.
