Basic info: This is supposedly the oldest known ancestor of T-Rex (If you believe in evolution). This dinosaur was first discovered by scientists from the George Washington university, and named by Xu Xing in 2006. The only real difference between Guanlong and other Tyrannosaurids is the crest on it's head. It may have been used during a mating season to attract a mate, But was too fragile to be used for fighting. Scientists also don't know if this is a feature only found on males, since not many have been found. Also unlike other Tyrannosaurids, Guanlong had three-fingered hands instead of the usual two.
