Moros

Information
Moros intrepidus was an early tyrannosauroid theropod dinosaur that lived in the western United States some 96 million years ago in the Cretaceous, estimated to have weighed around 170 pounds and to have stood less than five feet tall at the shoulder. Moros was first discovered at the Stormy Theropod site located in Emery County in the U.S. state of Utah in 2013 from partial limb bones. Lindsay Zanno described the bones as a new species in February 2019. Moros represents the earliest known tyrannosauroid material from North America by a margin of fifteen million years.

Design
Moros intrepidus is depicted here as partially feathered. Fur covers the arms, legs, back, torso, and tail of this small predator. The fur is mainly an orangish-brown in color, with the occasional black dask and a white-colored underbelly for countershading. The throat is a bright red in males and is used for sexual dimorphism and for showing off.
