He was living in Egypt .. A “scary” dinosaur fossil was found

74

A team of researchers in Egypt discovered the fossil of a huge but strange-looking dinosaur, with small arms and a face resembling a bulldog, according to the British newspaper, “Daily Mail”.

The source said that experts found in the Western Desert of Egypt the fossil of a huge dinosaur, with two legs (which means that it was walking), small teeth and very short arms.

He added, “The dinosaur, which was about 6 meters long, roamed the Sahara desert 98 million years ago.”

This species belonged to the family of lizard-like dinosaurs, which flourished during the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago), the last time period of the age of the dinosaurs (Abelisaurids).

The new study was led by Bilal Salem, of the Center for Vertebrate Paleontology at Mansoura University in the Egyptian city of Mansoura, who is also a graduate student at Ohio University and a faculty member at Benha University.

“During the middle of the Cretaceous period, Bahariya Oasis was one of the most terrifying places on the planet,” Salem said.

“The mystery of how all these massive predators managed to coexist remains a mystery, although it is likely related to their hunting for different things,” he added.
