Interesting. Then, again, the media blow out was just astonishing. One aritcle even said it was "fast and deadlier than T. rex."  ???

Still, a nice find.

Isn't that also how WW3D describes Gorgosaurus?
Also saying "living side by side" with T.rex is a bit miseleading. Eve if one considers Tarbosaurus bataar a species of Tyrannosaurus, it would be T. bataar.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

Quote"The trouble was, they were both juveniles. So it was possible their long snouts were just a weird transient feature that grows out in adults," said Dr Brusatte, an expert in tyrannosaur evolution.

Does this have any consequence for the validity of "Nanotyrannus" as a real species, and not a juvenile T.rex?

Qianzhousaurus sinensis:  Check out this skull.  A Tyrannasur with a long snout and Narrow long teeth.  According to the article I just read, it was nearing adulthood when it had died, so it is not a juvenile.

interesting finding
probably Alioramus may be the juvenile if we compare this two reconstructions
It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.
