Voted Best Dinosaur Toy Figure 2017 by Prehistoric Time Magazine

Tyrannosaurus rex, the so-called 'king of the tyrann lizards', is probably the most famous dinosaur of all time. However, recent discoveries of feathered dinosaurs are changing our understanding of this popular species.

Description
Specimens of earlier, smaller tyrannosaurs from China, Dilong and Yutyrannus have been found with feathers preserved. This evidence suggests that Tyrannosaurus may also have had feathers since these species are so closely related. Tyrannosaurus even had a wishbone similar to those of modern birds. Of course, it was too big to fly, so its feathers may have served another purpose, perhaps used to impress a mate.

Scientific name: Tyrannosaurus rex

Characteristics:

Tyrannosaurus is a muscular carnivore with large jaws filled with teeth. It walked on two muscular legs and had relatively small arms with two-fingered hands. With the discovery of its relative Yutyrannus, some researchers believe that Tyrannosaurus may have had feathers.

Size and Color:

This amazingly detailed model is 12 long and 5.25 tall. Its bold, colorful plumage and scarred face make a striking statement.

Feathered Tyrannosaurus Rex is part of the Wild Safari® Prehistoric World collection.
