Researchers discover new species of tyrannosaur called the 'reaper of death'

Science ಇಂದು ಮುಂಜಾನೆ
An older cousin of the Tyrannosaurus rex, the Thanatotheristes degrootorum — which means "reaper of death"— was first discovered in Alberta back in 2010. The predator would have lived 79 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period.

A fearsome lizard with a name meaning “reaper of death” is the first new tyrannosaur species to be identified in Canada in 50 years, say researchers with the University of Calgary and the Royal Tyrrell Museum.
