Look at those arm bones! Whatever they belonged to must have been a terrifying beast!That’s what scientists thought nearly 50 years ago when they dug up this dino’s first bones. But now they’ve found the rest of it. Guess what? The dinosaur wasn’t scary. It was goofy!Granted, the dinosaur did have strong arms and big claws. It was 16 feet tall and 36 feet long. It did weigh 7 tons. But scientists think it walked funny—a little like Barney the purple TV dinosaur, and a little like Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars.But here’s what makes the new dino really funny. It had a duckbill on its head. A hump like a ship’s sail stuck out of its back. If you opened its mouth you wouldn’t find a single tooth! Plus, it had tufts of feathers here and there on its body and ate like a vacuum cleaner. Are you laughing yet? If you could name this dinosaur, what would you call it?
