Fossil Hunters in Romania find a 2-Clawed relative of the Velociraptor
August 30, 2010:
Nothing quite like it, a dinosaur with two claws on each foot, was known to live in the final period of the age of great reptiles. Little wonder fossil hunters in Romania were astonished when they unearthed remains of a distant relative of Velociraptor, the familiar single-claw predator of fierce repute, and saw its unusual stocky limbs and double-clawed feet. The discoverers reported on Monday that the dinosaur, the size of a gigantic turkey, was a meat-eating creature that lived more than 65 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period. They named it "Balaur bondoc", which means "stocky dragon".
This article interested me because I was always a fond of dinosaurs, and seeing that these Romanians had just discovered a new species of dinosaur, I wanted to know a bit about it.
Like I said, I was always interested in dinosaurs, one time I actually thought I could transform into one.
