CLAREMONT, Calif., April 19 (UPI) -- Paleontologists say the first new dinosaur fossil found in Madagascar in nearly a decade has helped fill in a big hole in the island country's dinosaur record.
The meat-eating dinosaur, which has a scientific name of Dahalokely tokana but was dubbed "Lonely small bandit," was from a class of dinosaurs called abelisauroids and looked like a small T. rex, moving on two large hind legs with two tiny forearms, they said.
