‘Mini’ T rex found in China

A “MINI-ME” 9ft version of Tyrannosaurus rex looking almost identical to the king of the dinosaurs but 100 times lighter has been unearthed in China.

The dinosaur, named Raptorex kriegsteini, lived 125 million years ago.

Although it predated T rex by about 60 million years, the two carnivores shared the same body plan, having a large skull, tiny forearms and athletic hind legs designed for running.
