Carnivorous dinosaurs other than the famous t-rex and spinosaurus..

Yutyrannus. This basal tyrannosauroid is most well known for the fact that it most likely had a coating of feathers, but there are some things about it that tend to get overlooked. Namely, the large size of its arms and head as well as the allosauroid-like crests on its skull.

Here are Scott Hartman's restorations of the skulls of specimens ZCDM V5001 and ELDM V10001; these show off the impressive head crests nicely, as well as the massive and deep nature of the skull.

And here is Greg Paul's skeletal, in which the proportionally large arms and head are very apparent.

Side note: Yutyrannus has, compared to its much more famous relative Tyrannosaurus, a proportionally larger head as well as proportionally and absolutely larger arms than any Tyrannosaurus specimen (though perhaps that second point is not so much of a surprise). This does show that at least basal tyrannosauroids were probably doing some evolutionary experimenting before their more famous and more specialized descendants evolved. Reply
