For decades, paleontologists have argued over one question: Was Nanotyrannus a real dinosaur—or just a young Tyrannosaurus rex? In this episode, we settle the debate once and for all.
Join us as we present the definitive evidence confirming that Nanotyrannus lethaeus was a distinct tyrannosaur species. From its unique skull proportions and slender build to its specialized teeth and braincase structure, Nanotyrannus stands apart from T. rex in ways that can no longer be ignored.
We’ll examine:
🦴 The anatomy that separates Nanotyrannus from T. rex juveniles
🧬 Bone histology proving mature growth stages
📜 The fossil record — from the Cleveland Skull to “Jane”
🔬 The newest research redefining late Cretaceous tyrannosaurs
Forget the “juvenile rex” theory — the evidence is in, and Nanotyrannus lethaeus earns its rightful place in dinosaur history as the swift, intelligent predator of the Hell Creek ecosystem.
