Daspletosaurus was a close relative of T. rex. It lived about ten million years earlier, and was about fifteen feet smaller, growing to around 30 feet long. It also had proportionally longer arms than T. rex and other tyrannosaurs, and its eyes were not as forward-facing as its larger, more famous cousin. Despite being smaller and not quite as advanced, it was still a formidable predator of the Late Cretaceous Period.

History: Daspletosaurus was first discovered in 1921, but was not formally described until 1970, when geologist and paleontologist Dale Russell named it as a new dinosaur: Daspletosaurus torosus (“torosus” meaning “muscular”). In 1992, another Daspletosaurus was discovered by paleontologist Jack Horner, who believed it to be a new species that would be named Daspletosaurus horneri (“Of Horner”) in 2017. Daspletosaurus was a very close relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, and may even have been its direct ancestor.

Amelia L. ★★★★★ Oct 21, 2026

My kid's been obsessed with T. rex but this Daspletosaurus is a great way to explain how predators evolved—the shorter overall length and those longer arms make it visually distinct enough to start that conversation. Sturdy enough for daily play, and the 30-foot scale feels right for a smaller carni

The longer arms really set this one apart from my other tyrannosaur figures, and the 30-foot scale makes it feel properly massive on the shelf. My kid loves pointing out how it's a T. rex cousin but older and smaller, which sparked a whole conversation about dinosaur timelines.

The 30-foot length is perfect for my nephew's dinosaur collection—it’s smaller than the usual T. rex toys but still impressively sized. The longer arms on this model actually look accurate, which makes it stand out from other figures he has.
