Scientists have finally solved the 'tiny' T-Rex mystery
A groundbreaking study has settled a 40-year debate: the 'tiny tyrant' fossil is not a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex but a distinct species, Nanotyrannus lancensis. Researchers analyzed the 'dueling dinosaurs' specimen, revealing it was a 20-year-old adult with unique skull and limb features, suggesting a more complex Cretaceous ecosystem than previously believed.
