Lythronax with Protofeathers
Lythronax is the earliest of all the Tyrannosaurs. That is a big deal. At the University of Utah they have a head mock up of Lythronax and it has protofeathers A couple of years ago a Paleontology Professor there told me that sooner or later we will discover a T. rex or Tyrannosaurus rex with evidence of feathers. The mock up and my drawing of it both show Lythronax with protofeathers. They are not flying feathers. . . probably they were just for display. They might have been brightly colored like a peacock. . . we don't know. As far as size, Lythronax argestes was 26 feet or 8 meters long and it weighed 2.5 metrci tonnes or 5,500 lbs.
I have drawn Lythronax before. It is a dinosaur on display at the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Today we went to that museum and afterwards I had a doctor's appointment. This may be T.M.I. but these are not the most pleasant of doctor appointments, The doctors are awesome, as are their staff. But one of the doctors has to put a camera down my throat and take a look. That is never fun. . . although it IS kind of interesting to watch the show. I was at the University of Utah Airway Clinic. They have to scope me every time I go in there. I have a T Tube stent holding open a collapsing trachea (windpipe) so they are monitoring my situation. If you wonder why sometimes I don't post for a while . . . it is usually because my trachea is giving me problems. So, sorry about the gaps. But I'm hanging in there. This drawing was entirely done while I waited in the doctor's office.
