Imperial Tyrant

The imperial tyrant (Tarbosaurus bataar) is a species of large solitary carnivorous non-avian theropod dinosaur part of the Tyrannosaur family. It was originally extinct in the Late Cretaceous Mongolia, but was brought back from extinction and brought into Holocene Asia in the 1910s. It is found in the deserts, scrublands, arid savannas, humid grasslands, and open woodlands of Mongolia, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and India. It is the closest relative of the great tyrant (Tyrannosaurus rex), although it retained feathers like its smaller ancestors due to its size not as big as the great tyrant. It mainly preys on elephants, rhinoceroses, buffalos, and other large and medium-sized herbivores. Its conservation status is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts.
