A new “dragon prince” dinosaur has been discovered! 🐉

Scientists have found a new dinosaur that lived before the famous T. rex! This dinosaur is called Khankhuuluu and was discovered in Mongolia. It had a long snout, small horns, and a slim body. It looked a bit like its bigger relatives but was still quite fast. It’s like comparing a little kid who runs really fast with a tall adult who might be a bit slower! 🏃‍♂️💨

Interestingly, this dinosaur was an important step in evolution. It helps scientists understand how giant predators like T. rex came to be. They believe that huge T. rexes started to evolve in North America after a long journey from Asia, where Khankhuuluu lived. It’s like your family moving to a new city, and you growing up to be really big and strong! 🌍

Now we know that dinosaurs were not only huge but also very diverse. Each species was unique and had its own features. This discovery helps us understand better how living things change over time! 🦖

❓ What do you think other dinosaurs might have existed before T. rex?
