Gator Update (Belly Edition)

Spanish Concavenator dinosaur a 'hunchback hunter' - USATODAY.com: "Spain's top-predator dinosaur, some 130 million years ago, sported quilled-elbows, an alligator belly and a hunchback, an international team reports Wednesday.

Called Concavenator, Latin for 'the hunchback hunter from Cuenca (Spain),' the fossil remains of the dinosaur are featured in the journal Nature. The two-legged meat-eater stood about eight feet tall and measured 20-feet in length, making it a medium-sized 'theropod' dinosaur like the later Tyrannosaurus Rex."
