New Species
The Dragon Of Death Enearthed In The Soils Of Argentina
Thanatosdrakon amaru, meaning ‘The Dragon Of Death”, is one of the largest flying creatures that has ever lived. This giant species of pterosaur had a massive wingspan of 30 foot! That means its wingspan can compared to the lenght of a school bus. It was found by the team led by Leonardo Ortiz.
Microvenator
Microvenator (meaning “small hunter”) was a small, fast-moving, lightly-built dinosaur that walked on two long legs. It was about 4 ft. (1.2 m) long and weighed roughly 6.5 to 14 pounds (3 to 6.4 kg). This turkey-sized predator had short arms, large eyes, a long neck, a small head, and a long snout tat may have had a toothless beak. Each hand had three long fingers, each equipped with a claw.
Zigongosaurus
igongosaurus was a large quadrupedal (walked on four legs) herbivore. It was a about 35 feet (10.7 m) long and may have weighed about 20 tons. It had a long neck, a long tail, a small head with spoon-shaped teeth, and thick, elephant-like legs. Zigongosaurus lived during the late Jurassic period. Zigongosaurus was an herbivore, a plant eater. It stripped foliage with spoon-shaped teeth. It used to be thought that the sauropods (like Zigongosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus) and Stegosaurus had a second brain.
Vulcanodon
Vulcanodon was a big guy, about 20 feet long (imagine a school bus, but with scales!). 🚌📏 It had a long neck, a lengthy tail, a small head, and some beefy legs and body to match. 🦕💪 To add a little edge to its style, Vulcanodon sported nail-like claws on its feet and an extra-large claw on each of its big toes. 🦖🦶
