National GeographicNew dinosaur alert. 🚨 Say hello to Kank australis, the latest discovery by a team led by paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer Diego Po in Patagonia. Kank was an Unenlagiidae, a group characterized by their long snouts, tiny teeth, and birdlike wing arms, which leads researchers to believe it stalked coastal wetlands until its extinction. This discovery is just the latest in the region, suggesting that life in Cretaceous Patagonia was thriving.
