Paleontologists have uncovered the remains of megaraptor that lived 70 million years ago, making it one of the last carnivorous dinosaur to roam the Earth. Discovered in Argentina, the team found vertebrae, ribs and part of what would have been the dinosaur's chest and shoulder girdle. After a further analysis, they determined the creature was approximately 33 feet in length -the largest megaraptor found to date. Unlike the Tyrannosaurus rex, this lethal dinosaur had extremely long, muscular arms with massive claws at the end that were used to attack prey.

I can see a SciFi movie out of this: Megaraptor v. T-Rex.

DON’T. THAW. IT. OUT! LOL!

Or, see warning:

DO NOT REPLICATE!

Many leading paleontologist have postulated that dinosaurs behaved much like chickens or turkeys.

I have to admit that the thought of a one-ton chicken with big claws and teeth that can move that fast is pretty terrifying and it will always capture our imagination.

So, it should be a simple matter to find some flash-frozen dinos just a-floating around out in the dark...

Interesting article. 15 inch claws—those would ruin your day.

As an aside, you would think MSN would format it site to work with iPads. What a mess.

I loved that movie!

Think instead of the dining room table at Thanksgiving... I want a drumstick! You’d need 50gal drums of gravy, and the filling/stuffing bowl would be enormous. And a tractor bucket to bring-in the cranberry relish.

Yeah, but they’re not very reflective.

And some of them burned up on reentry.

And they’ve had millions or at least few thousand years to drift away from earth’s orbit.

It's Reptilicus!

Thought it was moochie at first glance.

Do they house train easily?
