DREADNOUGHTUS - best heavy metal band name ever **#2 in the series**

meaning FEAR NOTHING, this 65 tonne beast ate plants like nobody's business.

hard core plant muncher...
scary faced herbivore...
salad toothed intimidator...
argentinian vegan monster...

if this was my death metal band, song titles would include:

shrubbery
i am super massive
bones exposed
fossil of a nation
and we would cover Meat is Murder by The Smiths

this would be the album cover:

the other dreadnoughtus

mansourasaurus shahinae

back when egypt's western desert was a coastal jungle slash mostly under water (so about 73 million years ago), there were a few crazy big lizards hanging out there.
very few fossil remains have been found in africa but this new guy just showed his left dentary to the folks at the mansoura university who have been trying to find a needle in a haystack for years.

a bit derpy
according to live science, this find is a pretty big deal because this is only the 6th dino species to be found on that continent.
