A new species of dinosaur, with the name Vectaerovenator inopinatus, has been discovered on the Isle of Wight. The news headlines are all talking about how it's "related to T. rex" - but, since it lived almost 50 million years before T. rex did, it must have been quite a distant relative :

Still, it did have large air spaces inside some of its bones (a trait that it shares with both T. rex and modern birds), so it's not like there's no relation at all here .
