Yutyrannus Huali - Discovered in 2012

Yutyrannus huali was a large, carnivorous theropod dinosaur from Early Cretaceous China.

It is notable for being the largest dinosaur found with direct traces of feathers, a discovery which forever changed how dinosaurs are perceived.

It was for this that Yutyrannus was given its name, which means "beautiful feathered tyrant".

This fluffy predator belonged to the clade Tyrannosauroidea, making it a distant relative of the famous Tyrannosaurus rex, although the feathered tyrant rose to the top of the food chain independently of the more famous tyrant king.
