A Humpback Dinosaur has been found in Spain. The fossil is nearly complete and has a noticeable hump! It has been named: Concavenator corcovatu.
It is theorized that the creature could have communicated with others by using his hump, but it could also have been used to regulate temperature etc.
The Dinosaur stands at 6 meters and on two feet and it is the only fossil found of its type!
Also on the forearms of this Dinosaur they found evidence that it might have had feathers! It is only speculation at the moment though. We will have to wait and see.
Great Picture of the fossil:
