Huge Dinosaur Bird Found in China
The fossilised remains of a giant bird-like dinosaur have been uncovered in the region of Inner Mongolia, China.
While some have theorised that meat-eating dinosaurs got smaller as they
evolved to be more bird-like, this beast weighed about 1,400kg
(3,080lbs).
That is about 35 times heavier than other similar feathered dinosaurs.
Nature journal reports that the beaked animal was 8m (26ft) long and twice as tall as a man at the shoulder; yet it was only a young adult when it died.
