Labocania the Tyrannosaur from Mexico

 This is my free coloring pages blog.

Today I drew for you a Tyrannosaur from Mexico.

Labocania the Tyrannosaur from Mexico

Labocania is a recent discovery.  It is actually the second Tyrannosaur from Mexico. This dinosaur was probably around 31.8 feet (9.7 meters) long when an adult.  The holotype (or first fossil) of Labocania is that of a subadult and was probably around 21 feet (6.3 meters) long when alive.  Yet it was not fully grown. The full scientific name is Labocania aguillonae. By the way, an adult had excellent eyesight with fairly large eyes.  It was around 9.5 feet (2.9 meters) tall so It had quite a view. It may have been able to hunt at night. 

This is a drawing of the Holotype dinosaur... meaning it is a subadult Labocania. It may or may not have had feathers.  The feathered Tyrannosaurs DID exist in Asia.  We are not sure if the Tyrannosaurs in the New World were feathered.

Labocania lived around 71 million years ago, so a few years before the bigger cousin we call T. rex.  Labocania lived in what is now Mexico. It was probably the top predator or apex predator in its environment.
