An undergraduate University of Alberta paleontology student has discovered an Ornithomimus dinosaur with preserved tail feathers and soft tissue. The discovery is shedding light on the convergent evolution of these dinosaurs with ostriches and emus relating to thermoregulation and is also tightening the linkages between dinosaurs and modern birds.

Here's my brief look at famous late Cretaceous fauna:

-a long-tailed ostrich

-a giant ground eagle with switch-blade talons and teeth

-a mid-sized chicken with a longer tail and an appetite for flesh

-a 3-horned, parrot-beaked, frilled porupine

-a GIANT angry chicken who crushes bones for lunch

Did I catch everyone guys? :P
