Lythronax
A broad head and forward-facing eyes gave Lythronax a distinctive profile.
A broad head and forward-facing eyes gave Lythronax a distinctive profile. The back of its powerful skull was wide, and its eyes faced quite far forward. Strong hind legs and small arms formed a recognizable tyrannosaurid combination.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Lythronax
Its remains were found in Utah’s Wahweap Formation. It lived millions of years before Tyrannosaurus rex and records another stage in the diversity of these large predators.
Skull proportions help researchers investigate how it saw and fed. But reconstructing sensory abilities takes more than saying it had ‘a hunter’s eyes’: scientists compare bones, their positions and relationships with other animals.
