- Tyrannosaurs are the most iconic of all dinosaurs, but what they were like as babies has been the subject of debate and mystery.
- New research of rare tyrannosaur embryos offers researchers the first good look at what the massive meat-eaters looked like fresh out of their eggs.
- When the dinosaurs hatched, they were roughly as big as a medium-sized dog.
If you jump in a time machine and traveled backward millions of years, you might find yourself standing face-to-face with an adult tyrannosaur. Well, it would probably be more like face-to-knee because the dinosaurs could reach massive sizes, but I digress. The important thing here is that you'd be scared and either get eaten or run away.
However, if you happened upon a juvenile tyrannosaur, you might be more inclined to pet it on the head rather than run for your life, as new research reveals that baby tyrannosaurs were roughly as large as a medium-sized dog. The finding comes thanks to the discovery of fossilized tyrannosaur embryos that are offering scientists a glimpse at how large the creatures were when they first crawled out of their shells.
