Nanotyrannus, meaning "dwarf tyrant," is a debated genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaur, possibly representing a juvenile Tyrannosaurus specimen. It is known from a small skull that dates back to around 72.1 to 66 million years ago. A key difference between Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus rex is that Nanotyrannus had more teeth in both its upper and lower jaws, along with fused bones. Specifically, Nanotyrannus had 14 to 15 teeth on each side of the upper jaw and 16 on each side of the lower jaw, while T. rex had 11 to 12 upper and 11 to 14 lower teeth. These dinosaurs likely hunted in pairs or packs, preying on large Late Cretaceous animals like ceratopsians and hadrosaurs.
