Daily Mail writes about the unique find.

This dinosaur had small teeth and very small upper limbs. According to palaeontologists, the predator was up to 6 metres long and moved on its two lower three-toed limbs.

This dinosaur lived about 98 million years ago in the Cretaceous period on the territory of the southern supercontinent Gondwana.

As a reminder, the remains of a reptile that existed 250 million years ago were discovered in China.
