Yutyrannus
“beautiful feathered tyrant”

One intriguing aspect of Yutyrannus, a close relative of T-Rex, is that it was covered in feathers, making it one of the largest feathered dinosaurs ever discovered. Despite its imposing size, these feathers likely served as insulation rather than for flight, providing warmth in the cooler climate of its habitat.
