A New Dinosaur in China

Scientists find out about a new dinosaur. It lives in China a very long time ago. It is 9 to 10 metres long. That is very big!

The dinosaur looks like a dragon. It has a short neck and a long tail. It stands up on two legs. It eats plants. It does not eat meat.

Scientists look for old bones in the ground. They find the bones in a big area in the south of China. The bones come from the neck, back and hips of the dinosaur.

Scientists look at the bones carefully. They see that this dinosaur is new and different. It is not the same as other dinosaurs.

The name of the dinosaur means dragon in Chinese. A phoenix is a magic bird from old stories. Birds come from dinosaurs. Birds are alive today. Dinosaurs are not alive today.
