Yutyrannus (Simplified Chinese : 华丽羽王龙 Traditional Chinese : 華麗羽王龍 Pinyin : Huà Lì Yǔ Wáng Lóng meaning "feathered tyrant") is a genus of proceratosaurid tyrannosauroid dinosaur which contains a single known species, Yutyrannus huali. This species lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now northeastern China.[1] Three fossils of Yutyrannus huali — all found in the rock beds of Liaoning Province — are the largest-known dinosaur specimens that preserve direct evidence of feathers.[2]
