Moros Intrepidus Information:

Moros intrepidus is a species of small tyrannosaurid dinosaur that lived approximately 96 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. It was discovered in the Cedar Mountain Formation in Utah, United States. Moros intrepidus is notable for being one of the earliest known tyrannosaurs, providing valuable insights into the early evolutionary history of this group of dinosaurs.

The name "Moros intrepidus" reflects its presumed predatory nature, with "Moros" meaning "impending doom" in Greek, and "intrepidus" meaning "intrepid" in Latin. The specific epithet highlights its small size compared to later tyrannosaurs.

The discovery of Moros intrepidus contributes to our understanding of how tyrannosaurs evolved over time, eventually leading to the emergence of larger and more iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex. 

Schleich Product Information:

The Moros Intrepidus runs like lightning through the jungle on two legs – always on the hunt. It digs its mighty clawed feet into the ground so that no one can stop it. At the same time, it opens and closes his huge jaws. It looks dangerous even from a distance. Let's get out of here!

The Moros Intrepidus is admittedly much smaller than its relative, the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex. Its legs are only about 1.20 meters long. Nevertheless, it can also be quite dangerous. Its hunger for fresh meat can hardly be satisfied, which is why it’s always hunting. When it discovers its prey it can run faster than almost every other dinosaur. Once it has something in its sharp fangs, it won't let go without a fight. So we'd be better off keeping our distance!
