NORTH 02 | Ancient Animal | Yutyrannus

Yutyrannus, meaning "feathered tyrant", is a genus of proceratosaurid tyrannosauroid dinosaur which contains a single known species, Yutyrannus huali. This species lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now northeastern China.

Three fossils of Yutyrannus huali, all found in the rock beds of Liaoning Province, are currently the largest-known carnivorous dinosaur specimens that preserve direct evidence of feathers.
