A carnivorous dinosaur as big as a school bus has been unearthed in Spain. The killing machine was up to 35 feet long, 12 feet tall and weighed up to five tons.
It had powerful jaws and razor-sharp teeth - suggesting it shook prey to tear off pieces. The new species has been named Protathlitis cinctorrensis, Greek for 'Champion of Cinctorres' - the town where it was dug up.
Lead author Dr Andres Santos-Cubedo, of the University of James I, Castello, said: "The beast roamed Earth around 127 million years ago. It was a member of the iconic spinosaurs - adding to evidence they originated in Europe and then migrated to Africa and Asia."
