Description

Yutyrannus is a carnivorous dinosaur from the tyrannosauroid family – a distant relative of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex - that is notable for the long feathers on its body and tail. In fact, at around 9m in length, this genus is the largest carnivorous dinosaur known to have feathers – lending it the name Yutyrannus, which translates to ‘feathered tyrant’.
