Notable for being an early Tyrannosaurid from Western Europe, Eotyrannus is an anomaly among Tyrannosaur species, which are normally found in North America or Asia. With a light build and longer arms for grasping prey, Eotyrannus is one of the smaller species in its family, but may be most closely related to Yutyrannus. The only known specimen is from a sub-adult so its adult size is still undetermined.
