"textContent": "A long-running dinosaur mystery may finally be solved: Nanotyrannus, once dismissed as just a teenage T. rex, appears to have been its own distinct species after all. Scientists analyzed a tiny throat bone from the original fossil and discovered growth patterns showing the animal was already mature, not a juvenile giant-in-the-making. This smaller predator—about half the size of a full-grown T. rex—likely roamed alongside its famous cousin, adding a new layer of complexity to prehistoric ecosystems.",
