Yutyrannus — size comparison — facts and sources

Yutyrannus was a large bipedal predator of Early Cretaceous China. A tyrannosauroid, it nevertheless had longer arms with three fingers. A low crest rose above the snout, with small bony projections near the eyes.

Three skeletons described in 2012 preserved traces of long, filamentous feathers in different body regions. These probably formed an extensive insulating coat and may also have served display. Researchers did not document the precise excavation site, complicating environmental reconstruction.
