- Tyrannosaurs are the most iconic of all dinosaurs, but how they were as babies has been the subject of debate and mystery.
- New research on rare tyrannosaur embryos gives researchers a good first look at the massive appearance of freshly hatched meat consumers.
- When the dinosaurs hatched, they were about as big as a medium-sized dog.
If you jump in a time machine and travel back millions of years, you may find yourself standing face to face with an adult tyrannosaurus. Well, it would probably be more on the knees, because the dinosaurs could reach massive sizes, but I deviate. The important thing is that you would be scared and eat or run away.
However, if you have encountered a juvenile tyrannosaurus, you may be more inclined to stroke it on your head than to run for your life, as new research shows that tyrannosaurus babies were about the same size. as big as a medium-sized dog. The discovery comes from the discovery of fossilized tyrannosaur embryos, which gives scientists a look at how big the creatures were when they first came out of their shells.

As reported by CNN, the study, which was published in Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, is largely based on a maxillary bone from a tyrannosaurus embryo. Because so many tyrannosaurus fossils have been discovered over the years, a single bone is often needed for researchers to determine the total size of the animal. In this case, the baby dinosaur was about three meters long.
This is a tiny version of a creature that could reach a length of over 30 feet as an adult, but three feet is still quite large when it comes to baby chicks. These dinosaurs come from eggs, and researchers estimate that the egg that held the dinosaur used for this study was about 17 centimeters long. This is a big omelet.
Of course, a predator is still a predator, so although a small tyrannosaurus was probably adorable, it could probably cause damage. The creatures were born with all the tools they needed to secure their own food, with a mouth full of teeth that would produce a painful or even lethal bite to a small prey. However, as the debate over whether tyrannosaurs were primarily hunters or shields is worth considering.
Discovering the size of a baby tyrannosaurus is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding what creatures were like as young people. Scientists have learned a lot about the parental habits (and sometimes lack thereof) of many different dinosaurs, but there is a particular interest in how tyrannosaurs raised their offspring. In the years to come, you may receive answers to some of these questions.
