The fossilized remains of a wondrous-looking dinosaur that has been likened to a dragon has been unveiled by a team of international scientists. Detailing their work in a press release, the group indicated that the creature roamed the oceans around modern-day China during the Triassic period approximately 240 million years ago. Measuring 16 feet long, the Dinocephalosaurus orientalis sported an "extraordinarily long neck" that consisted of a staggering 32 vertebrae and easily allowed it to feast on any unfortunate fish that crossed its path.
