Initially, Nanuqsaurus was estimated to have been about 5–6 meters (16–20 ft) long, a metric based on the holotype specimen, putting the animal at about half the length of Tyrannosaurus rex. [5] [6] [7] The length of the same specimen's reconstructed skull, based on the proportions of related animals, was 60–70 cm (24–28 in). [3]
