A little more perspective
The museum directory gives an eight-meter length and identifies the distinctive horned skull and very small arms. This is a rounded reconstructed-size reference, not a measurement to the nearest centimeter or a range midpoint selected by the site.
The short, deep head and greatly reduced forelimbs distinguish the silhouette from a tyrannosaur. The tail extends along the comparison axis rather than curling behind the body. Scale texture and the distribution of larger skin bumps are interpretive, and the chosen brown coloration is not a known fossil color.
