Meet Kank australis, a newly discovered raptor species that was announced in late spring in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. If Spinosaurus was a “hell heron” stalking shallow shores, then you can think of this 50-pound predator as an “evil egret” or a “dinosaur stork.” And paleontologists say it reveals a new glimpse into life before the asteroid impact that obliterated the non-avian dinosaurs. Pol is best known in paleontology circles for his discovery of the Patagotitan, perhaps the largest dinosaur ever found. Kank, Pol says, is another example of the untold number of new species that could come from the southern region.
