The new dinosaur is an ancestor of the Triceratops and was built like a tank with two huge horns on its head.
At 22ft long Coahuilaceratops magnacuerna could have been a match even for Tyrannosaurus Rex as its head could gouge even the largest of predators with its pair of four foot horns.
The giant rhino like creature, which was 22 ft long, was so formidable because it had two four foot horns sprouting from its head which could gouge even the largest predator.

Aww. . . no dancing around their feet as they fight? lol. That would be a sight to see, and I am sure at some point History Channel will graciously render it in 3d for us, or maybe Discovery. They live off this stuff.

I love how we think we know everything about dinosaurs and prehistoric life, and then we find something amazing like this. Have to look up a picture now.

Must have been an incredible site. If I had a time machine I would first visit the Cambrian period to see the earliest life, then move on the the Jurassic to see magnificent creatures like this, then to the middle east when the Jesus man was around to sort out fact from fiction, take some photos, and save millions of lives! I sense another thread idea there....
