Bow down to the King of Thieves!
I always get really excited about new dinosaur fossils, and this one is particularly special. Raptorex is probably also the best scientific name ever given out. It has the same general proportions as the full-sized Trex–large menacing head and jaws, tiny hilarious arms–but at a much smaller (although still human-sized!) scale. This demonstrates that the Tyrannosaur body plan was successful at sizes other than Enormous.
Walking around with one of these on a leash would seriously impress the ladies.
It is a cool name, but I like that one beetle named after Gary Larson, too….
Love the dinos.
