Baby tyrannosaurs were cat-sized, full of teeth, and more common than scientists expected: A rare fossil clue to how T. rex began life
Exciting new fossil evidence indicates that T. rex hatchlings functioned as tiny, cat-sized predators. Weighing just a few pounds and sporting sharp teeth, these juvenile dinosaurs were difficult to unearth due to their diminutive size. Studies show that adult T. rex likely laid around twenty eggs in a single clutch, shedding light on the reproductive habits and early development of these iconic creatures.
