I was just wondering what the most popular non-T-Rex Tyrannosaur is. Mine is Albertasaurus (I am Canadian). The main reason is speed and agility.

Yutyrannus. I think it was awesome because of the feathers.

I like Daspletosaurus a lot. Gorgosaurus and Albertosaurus were alright. Tarbosaurus was too close to T-rex. My favorite non-rex tyrannosaur is probably Daspletosaurus. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/GorgosaurusDB.jpg/220px-GorgosaurusDB.jpg[/img]

First let me say that Yutyrannus wasn't considered a Tyrannosauridae. My favorite is also Daspletosaur though, because it was the evolutionary forerunner of Tyrannosaurus rex

No Yutyrannus is a tyrannosaur.

It was a little more primitive than others, but Yutyrannus is a tyrannosaur. Helps prove that they too had feathers.

It's kind of like an overgrown Di long. With some differences of course.

It really does resemble a Di-long. The yutyrannus is missing the small Monolophosaur-like crest though, and it's a few hundred million years later than Did Long

That was Guan long who had the crest on it's head.

Di long has been depicted with a crest, hasn't it?

The di Long I know has been depicted to look rather identical to a Guan long.

Every Di long I've seen has had either no crest or a very small, not very noticeable one.

Well, times have changed, and I would have to concur with you, buddy, but for a different reason. My affinity for Albertosaurus sarcophagus comes from the fact that it was the first of the Tyrannosauridae other than Tyrannosaurus rex that I knew. The idea of a smaller, slimmer, faster T.rex fascinated me, and Albertosaurus got me interested in other Tyrannosaurids such as Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus. Overall, Albertosaurus is my favourite non-T.rex Tyrannosaur because it got me interested in the rest of the Tyrannosauridae family.
