This little guy isn't necessarily new news, it's remains were found about 50 years ago. But in the resent years of advancing technology we have been able to learn new things about what it really looked like, when it thrived and other details.Taking a glance at the picture above would show that it has porcupine like quills, a small mouth almost like a beak and fangs. Research shows that this species would have lived on the forested rivers in south Africa. After Sereno, a paleontologist, has time to study he said that the fangs resembled those mammals of todays meat and plant eating mammals who would use them to attract and fight for mates, along with self-defense. This little dinosaur was a little ahead of its time not only because of the fangs but because of his jaw structure and molar like teeth. This dinosaur was no bigger than a household cat, so if you really wanted to you could keep this little dino as a pet and train it to not chew off any of your limbs.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/10/121003-new-dinosaur-species-fanged-sereno-science/
