Beyond the game
The real Suskityrannus
Its remains were found in New Mexico’s Moreno Hill Formation. The known specimens help fill a part of tyrannosauroid history previously poorly represented by fossils.
Being related to Tyrannosaurus does not mean it was a baby T. rex or had exactly the same proportions. Suskityrannus was a different dinosaur, and some features of its hands remain difficult to reconstruct because they are not completely preserved.
