With a bill like a duck but teeth like a croc’s, a swanlike neck and killer claws, a new dinosaur species uncovered by scientists looks like something Dr. Seuss could have dreamed up.
It also had flippers like a penguin, and while it walked like an ostrich it could also swim. That’s the first time swimming ability has been shown for a two-legged, meat-eating dinosaur.
The tiny creature, only about 18 inches (45 centimeters) tall, roamed 75 million years ago in what is now Mongolia. Its full curled-up skeleton was found in a sandstone rock.

At least it had all the food groups.
Everyone at Thanksgiving would be happy if it were around today.

Dig a hole, fill it with ashes, plant Peas all around it.
When an Elephant comes to take a Pea just kick em in the ash hole.

The new dinosaurs are just not as good as the old dinosaurs.
I didn’t know they were still making dinosaurs.
I prefer a Bigfoot steak.
Unlike Bigfoot which has a tenancy to be gamy, tough, and difficult - if not impossible to find, the Marbled Murrelet is tender, succulent, and very easy to find.
chupacabra fillets aint bad either
How do we see a picture of the actual fossil?
