  • A new Dinosaur described as feathered Dinosaur. It’s size is 28 centimeters not so big if you ask me. Fossils of this animal where also found in China on the northeast side of the Country.

    What caught my attention about this article was the fact that the dinosaur they found looked like a four legged bird with a long tail. I wonder what it’s diet was like if it was a herbivore or a carnivore or if it was a scavenger.
