Scientists unearth a new species of dinosaur

From PBS NewsHour.

Scientists have unearthed a new species of dinosaur in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Their findings have been published in the journal "iScience." The dinosaur, known as Duonychus, lived roughly 95 million years ago. It stood at 10-foot-tall, was 500-pounds and sported a pair of fearsome foot-long claws. Duonychus was actually not a predator, but rather used its long claws and long neck to reach for vegetation.
