I've got a question for any of you.  
I've been doing research on the tyrannosaur for almost a yaer now, and
haven't come across or heard about any finds on baby Tyrannosaurs.
This has bothered me for some time now, and I know I'm not the only bothered
by this, but why haven't there been any baby Tyrannosaurs found???  There
have been juevinilles found in the Tyrannosaur family yet no babies.  Why?? 
I would like to hear your hypothesis as to why that is.  Or am I mistaken
and there have been babies found??  I've kept up with new finds as much as
possible and don't think I've missed that particular find.
I'd appreicate it if I could get at least theory or hypothesis as to why
this is.
