Did You Know?

• Pinocchio Rex was a cousin to T-Rex.
• “P-Rex” measured around 25 to 35 feet long (7.5 to 9m).
• It weighed less than one ton.
• Qianzhausaurus most likely fed on small feathered dinosaurs or lizards.
• It once prowled across Asia.

This dinosaur had a mouth full of long, narrow teeth. It also had an elongated skull and thick, powerful jaws — though not quite as powerful as the better-known T-Rex. This dinosaur also had small horns sprouting from its odd snout.

Pinocchio Rex bones were discovered by workmen at a construction site near the city of Ganzhou, who then took them to a local museum.
