New 'thunder-thighs' dinosaur discovered

Gabe M. -- Very recently, scientists discovered a new type of dinosaur. Its name was the Brontomerus. Its nickname was “thunder-thighs” because it had such enormous thighs and attacked its predators with them. It was a member of the Long-Neck sauropod group of dinosaurs. The Brontomerus was found in Utah and was believed to live in the early cretaceous period. the scientists found a female adult, and a juvenile Brontomerus. They believe that the female weighed about 6 tons and the kid 200kg.

I think it is pretty cool that scientists are finding new dinosaurs still. It’s just really interesting to look at the creatures back then and relate to the ones we have now. it also seems really crazy that it was in Utah. I have not heard of many American dinosaurs. This article made me think a lot about how things were back then and made me pretty interested.
