Newest Dinosaur Labeled Chicken from Hell
Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second
Researchers have discovered a new species of dinosaur. It was unearthed in the US and was a bit like a chicken—a 10-foot tall, 550-pound chicken that could literally rip your head off.
The dinosaur, which lived around 66 million years ago, has been nicknamed the “chicken from hell” because of its chicken-like appearance and its location in North and South Dakota’s Hell Creek formation, reports the BBC. It has been given the scientific name Anzu wyliei after a bird-like demon from Mesopotamian mythology.
“It was a giant raptor, but with a chicken-like head and presumably feathers,” a researcher says. “The animal stood about 10 feet tall, so it would be scary as well as absurd to encounter.” The dinosaur, which fed on plants and small animals, was apparently pretty tough, the Guardian finds. It lived alongside its close relative T. Rex,and two of the three specimens uncovered appear to have survived skirmishes that left them with injuries, though it’s not clear whether the wounds are from combat or from predator attacks.

Lol. Thanks man. Can’t wait to hear.
I wonder if Anzu wyliei would have tasted as good as today’s chickens? Let me set my time machine to 66 million years ago; I’ll capture one and kill & eat it and let you know.
Make one hell of a curry!!
