Paleontologist, Paul Sereno, Discovers T-Rex Ancestors Were “Punk Size” 9 feet Tall. Talk About Short!

I guess you guys would have never guessed it, but T-Rex weren’t always as big as they were told to be. From what paleontologist Paul Sereno has discovered, the T-Rex use to be only 9 feet tall, the so called “Punk Size.” Strange, huh? T-rex didn’t just pop out of the Earth 200 feet tall…

About 125 million years ago a tiny version of Tyrannosaurus rex roamed what is now northeastern China. Tiny, that is, by T. rex standards — you still wouldn’t want to meet it face to face. Described by paleontologist Paul Sereno as “punk size,” this early predator stood about nine feet tall.

It just seems small compared to the giant T. rex that evolved millions of years later and was as much as 100 times more massive.

“It really is the blueprint for the later (T. rex) dinosaurs,” Sereno said, “it was a blueprint that was scalable.”
