EDINBURGH, Scotland, May 7 (UPI) -- Paleontologists have confirmed the discovery of a new species: a Tyrannosaur with a long, pointy snout. Naturally, scientists dubbed the new dino "Pinocchio rex."
Officially named Qianzhousaurus sinensis, the newfound predator was -- like his cousin T. rex -- a ferocious carnivore. Pinocchio rex and T. rex lived side by side for roughly 66 million years, stalking and scavenging during the late Cretaceous period.
