Move over, _Jurassic World_—there’s a real-life dinosaur making headlines! Researchers in Jiangxi Province, East China, just uncovered fossils of a **new armored dinosaur species** named Datai yingliangis. Say hello to the latest star of the Cretaceous era! 🌏✨
A 'Cheeky' Discovery
The two subadult specimens, each stretching 3.5–4 meters long, sported unique horns on their cheeks—think of them as the ultimate prehistoric accessory. 🦖💫 According to Xing Lida, a paleontology expert at China University of Geosciences, Beijing, this find fills a gap in the Ankylosaurine family tree, a group of tank-like dinos that roamed Earth 90 million years ago.
Why It Matters
This discovery isn’t just cool—it’s a game-changer for understanding how armored dinosaurs evolved in Asia. Imagine these ancient creatures lumbering through what’s now Jiangxi’s lush landscapes! 🌿🔬
