Reconstruction of Halszkaraptor escuilliei, a newly-discovered dinosaur. The latest dino discovery was announced Wednesday in a study by the journal Nature. According to the study, it walked like an ostrich, had flippers and could swim like a penguin, had a bill like a duck and a neck like a swan but had killer claws and teeth like a crocodile, which it needed because it was a meat-eating dinosaur. The skeleton of the tiny bird-like creature was discovered in a sandstone rock and is believed to have roamed Mongolia 75 million years ago. [Photo/VCG]
