Description

Known as a "Dwarf" Tyrannosaurid, Nanuqsaurus was only about 6 meters (20 feet) in length.  This small size may be due in part to a decrease in food year round in the cooler area that it lived in.  Despite this, it still shares the robust body-type that's characteristic of Tyrannosaurines.  It likely preyed on Ornithopods and Marginocephalians, though whether or not it was a social animal is unknown.  Remains of Nanuqsaurus have been uncovered in the Prince Creek Formation of Northern Alaska.  It lived during the Maastrichtian epoch of the Late Cretaceous.
