ISLE OF WIGHT, England — A bizarre new species of armored dinosaur has been unearthed on the Isle of Wight. The animal was found entombed in rocks dating back around 125 million years on the island.
The prickly-looking beast sported large, outwardly curved horns – from head to tail and belonged to a group called the ankylosaurs – plant eaters famous for their tank-like bodies and a club-shaped tail for fighting off predators and rivals.
