Paleontologists from the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa attempting to answer the question 'How big could a Tyrannosaurus rex actually get?' could put Scotty's status at risk.

“Scotty” lived in prehistoric Saskatchewan 66 million years ago. The bones of the 13-metre long dinosaur were discovered during a dig in the province in 1991.

University of Alberta paleontologist Philip Currie has been studying the eggs since 1993. In 2015, Currie, accompanied by the farmer who first collected them, returned to the discovery site in north-central China's Henan province.
