"Discovery of Massive Prehistoric Predator in New Mexico Predating T. rex"
Researchers have identified a new species of Tyrannosaurus, T. mcraeensis, as the closest known relative of the T. rex, challenging previous theories about the dinosaur's origins. The discovery, based on fossils found in southern New Mexico, suggests that the T. rex may have originated in North America millions of years earlier than previously believed. However, some experts are skeptical of the findings and further study is needed to determine the distinctiveness of the new species.
