WHOOPS I forgot to put a couple of fun facts about this species haha Labocania anomala is the type species of genus Labocania, which as of now has another species (L. aguillonae) discovered in Coahuila, México. This other species, however, has VERY fragmentary remains and is still doubted to even exist in the first place. Going back to L. anomala, it’s theorized that it’s a member of the family Tyrannosauridae, the same one the famous T. rex belongs to, while more recent studies theorize it belongs to another family, Charcarodontosauridae. The animal itself would've measured up to 8m (26ft) long, and a weight of 2.6 tonnes. L. anomala’s remains were found in the La Bocana Roja Formation- hence the genus name, and “anomala” meaning anomalous or enigmatic, due to the prior mention of its taxonomical placement.
