Paleontologists have found fossils belonging to a recently discovered species of bipedal armored dinosaur.

Paleontologists have discovered a previously unknown small armored dinosaur in southern Argentina. It probably walked upright on its hind legs about 100 million years ago. This will be reported by The Guardian.

A Cretaceous dinosaur named Yakapil Kanyukura was well protected by rows of bony plates on the neck, back, and down the tail. Its length is about 1.5 meters, and its weight is only 4-7 kg.

According to scientists, the dinosaur was the first of its kind armored creature during the Cretaceous period in South America. It belongs to a group of thyroid dinosaurs that includes Stegosaurus, known for its bony dorsal plate and spiny tail, and the armored, tank-like Ankylosaurus with its club-like tail.

It was previously reported that the remains of the world’s largest pterosaur were discovered in Scotland.
