Dinosaur named 'thunder-thighs'

[The Dragon Master]

Scientists have named a new dinosaur species thunder-thighs because of the huge thigh muscles it would have had.



Fossil remains recovered from a quarry in Utah, US, are fragmentary but enough to tell researchers the creature must have possessed extremely powerful legs.



The new species, described in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, is a sauropod - the family of dinosaurs famous for their long necks and tails.



It could have given other animals a hefty kick, say its discoverers.
