Pterry’s True Science: Tyrannosaurus Rex’s mini-me
Friday, September 18th, 2009
Good day Webosaurs, Pterry here. Just about had my latest invention all finished until Horns and Stretch fell into the lab and broke everything. Next time I’ll have both of them saying Uncle-saurus.
Anyways, got just wind of a new discovery from northeastern China. Paleontologists have just found a new dinosaur nicknamed “Raptorex,” which displayed all the same features of a T-Rex but at a fraction of the side. Raptorex stood only 9 feet tall and weighed about 143 lbs. T-Rex, in contrast, weighed about 5 tons.
Raptorex lived about 60 million years before T-Rex came about. This is an extremely exciting discovery for scientists as it gives a new link in the chain of understanding how T-Rex came to be in its evolutionary development. Strange that it would come from such a small dinosaur!
You’ll have to excuse me. Horns is sleeping now and I have a firecracker with his name on it!!
