Scientist Claims to Have Discovered New Dinosaur

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- A University of Chicago scientist says he's discovered a new dinosaur.

Paul Serano says the Pegomastax Africanus would have looked something like a "two legged-porcupine."

He says the animal was less than two feet long and weighed less than a house cat.

While he's the first to describe the species, it was actually excavated in the 1960s.

Scientists say the dinosaur lived about 200 million years ago.
