Tyrannosaurus bataar

Description

Can't help but draw more Dinosaurs, they're such nice stress relivers :D. And well, yes 'Tyrannosaurus bataar' aka Tarbosaurus bataar. Depending on who's asked either is correct. And with the discovery of a very closely related animal not very long ago and some recent studies suggests they're more closely related.I pretty much buy the idea that it's a member of the genus Tyrannosaurus despite the few 'significant' differences.

Think of it this way, modern animals from the genus Panthera (Tigers, Lions, Jaguars, Leopards, Snow Leopards) and Canis (Wolves(including dogs), Coyotes, Jackals, Ethipian wolves) These things are under their respective genus and they are all different species each of these things have features and structures that differ them from the others. This is the funny thing I don't see when scientists name extinct animals.The slightest or even few differences makes it a different genus than the other. Hopefully I'm wrong with that impression.

It doesn't mean that Tarbosaurus is the same species as T.rex but would be under the same genus which is Tyrannosaurus. Just as Panthera Tigris and Panthero Leo aren't the same species. 

I could've written a whole blog about this but my English and grammar as well as my writing in all honesty sucks as it is not my native language. This is just my own personal observation as a general animal nerd/lover who somehow gives a lil shoot about biology and taxonomy and should never be taken further beyond that.

Tarbosaurus and Tyrannosaurus are nothing alike!
