Dinosaur discovery

A new dinosaur with enormously powerful thigh muscles has been discovered in America, it was announced yesterday.

Scientists speculated that the muscles may have been used for kicking during fights over a mate or to ward off predators.

The beast, named Brontomerus mcintoshi, or “thunder-thighs”, has been discovered in Utah, USA, and is described in a paper recently published in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica by an international team of scientists from the UK and America.
