Dilong appreciation post
Dilong was a little 2 meter long tyrannosaurid (one of the smallest of this genius). It could weight up to 11 kilograms and reach nearly a meter in height. Its diet consisted mainly of small reptiles and prehistoric mammals. Dilong was found in the western Lianoing China. It lived in the Cretaceous era and was proven to have feathers.
I just really love this dinosaur and think it needs some love! Enjoy these little facts about it.

Contrary to popular belief, placentals weren't the first mammals to go big. Rather, the honor goes to another eutherian order: the pantodonts. These included species such as the ground sloth-esque Barylambda (pictured below) and the semiaquatic Coryphodon.
