Daily Dino Fact!

Yo dinos! This is really more suitable for a Pterry’s True Science but Horns accidently dropped a boulder on him so he’s out of commission for a while (be sure to give Horns grief about that at the party on Friday). So… without further ado, let’s get to it. Paleontologists found something very cool today. In Southern Utah, they found two new species of Ceratopsian dinosaurs, closely related to Triceratops. One of them had 15 horns on its head and is the most decorated dinosaur of its kind ever found!

To add to the crazy number of horns it had, they gave the dinosaurs the most ridiculous name ever! Kosmoceratops, how crazy is that? Makes me think of a space dinosaur. Of course… looking at this guy, it would make sense. Each horn is between 6 inches (15.2 cm) and 1 foot long (30.5 cm)! For so many horns, you would think it wouldn’t look like a combover. Hah!
