Another predatory dinosaur was recently discovered in Romania, by geologist Matyas Vremir of the Transylvanian Museum Society. Its name translates to “stocky dragon“, which is adorable.
From the article on Wired.com:
A stocky, two-clawed relative of Velociraptor and feathered dinosaurs has been discovered in Romania. Balaur bondoc, which means stocky dragon, is the first meat-eating dinosaur to be described that lived in Europe during the final 60 million years of the Age of Dinosaurs.
Fierce claws, feathers, awesome name, found by a Transylvanian. This dinosaur could only be cooler if it was also an ancient alien robot.
Heh, I hear a Transylvanian accent every day at work, from a coworker who was born and raised there.
That thing kicks far more ass than a Velociraptor.
This has made my day.
That used to hide under my bed when I was a kid.
It apparently also had some sweet dance moves.
OMG Dr. Alan Grant was right!
Does it look to anyone else like that dino was choreographed by Bob Fosse?
Tyra Banks was so much better looking before she lost all that weight.
Anyone else see the precursor to the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future when they look at that drawing?
That’s one happy-go-lucky little carnivore!
@7 jazz claws!
@11 or would they be “jazz talons”?
fake. in ten years they’re going to realize they didn’t know what the fuck they were doing when they put all those bones together, and we’ll be deprived of our stocky dragon just like we were deprived of our brontosaurus. or whatever the dino was they just decided didn’t exist.
I think it’s actually a Utahraptor
