In the 1960s, researchers unearthed two gigantic dinosaur arms. For decades, scientists have speculated about what kind of beast they belonged to.

Now, the rest of the dinosaur's body has been unearthed, and researchers say that the creature is even more bizarre than they had thought.

They say it was huge, with a beak, a humped back and giant, hoofed feet.

The study is published in the journal Nature.

Lead researcher Yuong-Nam Lee, from South Korea's Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (Kigam), said: "It turned out to be one of the weirdest dinosaurs, it's weird beyond our imagination."

Doesn't look that bizarre at all.

Doesn't look that bizarre at all.

That's just the artist's rendition. It's made to look not as bizarre as possible.

Maybe... Maybe Not !

It isn't a question, it's a pretty basic fact of how artistic renders work. And it still looks pretty weird, though I suppose you've probably got some weird Lovecraft shit that's all around you. Explains your insanity.
