Evidence of a new tyrannosaur species, called Yutyrannus huali, has been found in northeastern China. A team of scientists studied three fossil skeletons. Most striking were the remains of down-like feathers on the creature's neck and arm. Scientists suspect the species had feathers that resembled long, thick fur covering much of its body. The fluffy feathers likely helped keep the dinosaur warm. It may also have helped it hide or put on a show for other dinosaurs. If this tyrannosaur relative had feathers, the Tyrannosaurus rex may have had them as well. Scientists say that the evidence seems to be pointing in that direction.
