Beyond the game
The real Moros
Its bones were found in Utah, and a hind limb provides an important part of the evidence. This is compared with other tyrannosauroids to reconstruct its size and proportions.
Moros helps researchers study these predators before some branches became giants. A lineage’s evolutionary increase in size should not be confused with an individual growing from a young animal into an adult.
