Researchers in China have unearthed the bones of a gigantic bird-like dinosaur, dwarfing anything else in its category.
Alive, the beast is thought to have been 8 metres long, 3.5 metres high at the hip and 1,400 kilograms in weight — 35 times as heavy as its next largest family members and 300 times the size of smaller ones such as Caudiperyx. It has been classified as a new species and genus: Gigantoraptor
