Yutyrannus

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Yutyrannus is often called the Feathered Rex though it has significant differences from the T-Rex. It has four limbs but stands only on its back legs. Its feet and hands are webbed, making them better than expected swimmers. Their entire body is covered in feathers except for the feet, hands, and face.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Yutyrannuses are carnivores though they can sometimes be seen eating fruits though their teeth are not adapted for it. They prefer to hunt in packs and target larger animals such as elephants, wooly mammoths, and other larger herbivores. They have been known to eat rival Yutyrannuses as well.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Yutyrannuses typically live in solitary or in family units.

Domestication

There was one attempt at the domestication of the Yutyrannus when they were first brought back from extinction. However, the attempt ended in grand failure and a major loss of life.

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Yutyrannuses were originally from what is now considered Russia. After their extinction, they were brought back in the United States and escaped to Yellowstone National Park.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Hearing
The Yutyrannus has particularly bad hearing and cannot distinguish sounds bundled together. They are easily overwhelmed by loud and high pitched sounds. They can also be easily distracted by creating sounds elsewhere.
Sight
To make up for its terrible hearing the Yutyrannus has an incredible sight, able to spot the slightest of movements from yards away. It has a high color perception and can distinguish prey from its surroundings despite camouflage methods. One set back to its amazing sight is that it is easily distracted by movements and can lose focus on its target.
Smell
Yutyrannus has a bad sense of smell.
Taste
Nothing is known about the tasting abilities of the Yutyrannus.
Touch
Nothing is known about the touch or feeling abilities of the Yutyrannus.
