How about checking out this new species of dinosaurs discovered.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... orcovatus/
The Cretaceous period's carnivorous answer to a camel has been unearthed in Europe after 130 million years, a new study says (prehistoric time line).

The new, hunchbacked species of dinosaur sprouted spiky, featherlike shafts on its arms; was probably a powerful runner; and likely ate small dinosaurs, crocodiles, and early mammals, researchers say.

That is one strange looking dino. It's hard to think of anything with a camel-like hump as being particularly fast moving, especially if it weighs a ton. Even so, this one sounds pretty fierce. It's definitely an interesting find.

I agree. I also just lolled at my own topic, forgetting I created it. x3
