This large theropod dinosaur, belonging to the Tyrannosauridae family, roamed Asia during the Late Cretaceous period. Fossil evidence primarily comes from Mongolia, with some discoveries in China. It represents one of the largest land predators known, exhibiting physical characteristics similar to, but distinct from, Tyrannosaurus rex.
The creature’s study provides significant insights into the biogeography and evolution of tyrannosaurids across different continents. Its skeletal structure, bite force estimations, and inferred predatory behavior contribute to our understanding of apex predators in ancient ecosystems. Comparing its features to those of related genera allows paleontologists to hypothesize about evolutionary pressures and adaptations within the Tyrannosauridae lineage.
