New Dinosaur Species Discovered! Loki's Horned Dinosaur Wielded A Pair Of Giant Blades!

Ceratopsians are my favorite group of dinosaurs. They aren’t any different in their differences than groups like the Hadrosaurs or Pachycephalosaurs, in that they have remarkably similar bodies but extremely different noggins. However, they were better cuz they had huge heads with shearing beaks and piercing horns. Fight me. Yeah, I don’t care that there were really only like two that you could call huge. They all have their own special things going on meanie.

[@jvillasenor45]

Every time “the most extreme !” Man comes out I burst out laughing.

[@raptorzilla0710]

That is a… peculiar title.

[@Ragnar0kr0n]

Mhm

[@TheAnimalKingdom-tq3sz]

I wondered if Brontosaurus had a hidden specimen named "Thor"

[@dunguswungus359]

you can’t just say that

[@Spiny_21]

They can say the title cause it’s a horny Dino 🤪

[@donhillsmanii5906]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jamesdiluvio945]

I have seen that skull in the museum of evolution, last year! It was still just called Loki back then, awaiting it's official description and name. It's crazy to see a video about a fossil I have seen in person.

[@jeremycraft8452]

Also, “bubble-headed moose face?” You, sir, are a poet.

[@KadenSlinker]

We need more Dinosaur fossils from Appalachia

[@irenafarm]

That stone got eroded into the Piedmont and Gulf sedimentary plains.

[@Rawkwilder]

Go get some.

[@ecurewitz]

Sadly, few are preserved

[@amniote69]

It's quite possible that with such a large number of similar ceratopsian species in close proximity there was a fair amount of hybridisation. Possibly this was the cause of the asymmetric neck frill.

[@EDGEscience]

There are also an extremely large amount of asymmetry in nature, so there is no reason to favor hybridization over any other hypothesis.

[@reeyees50]

But where these species CAPABLE of hybridization? Finding this out will share a light on the variety of species. After all, some birds today are even capable of that

[@Kurominos1]

@@reeyees50 not evne birds ,,also many reptiles ,,fish and a lot of isnects will do that if habitats overlap some can do it so much that in certain parts thers almost only hybrids there

[@Emperor_Oshron]

Lokiceratops went extinct without finding its glorious purpose :(

[@DZNation1]

ChatGPT Title lookin ahh

[@catpoke9557]

Wouldn't doubt it considering before he used plagiarism to write but promised not to again. Perhaps now he uses chatGPT instead lol

[@Nanuqsaurslikespaleo]

​@@catpoke9557 i dont think so... he apoligized and didnt upload for weeks... so i think that he does his research

[@dannya1854]

The title feels too trolly to be artificial but it definitely has an AI vibe to it.

[@davidfiore4677]

Marvel’s Thanos: I thought I was the only one they named a dinosaur after!

[@doctor_wise8770]

Very glad that Albertaceratops has another relative

[@G33X]

He definitely lives up to his name, even within casts of his bones. I've hit my head so many times on those dang horns when reconstructing the skull. He's played other tricks during other parts of the reconstruction...and during the life restoration sculpting project, too

[@yahwea]

Great paper, and discovery. Awesome coverage!

[@Moulton_Lava]

Cornucopia more like Hornucopia

[@pablocaceres7378]

Corne mean horn

[@DavidMarcus1525]

Is there any chance science encounters a hybrid between two species of the same kind?

[@EDGEscience]

There will likely never br a way to tell from bones alone.

[@Some-crusader1127]

That's a interesting question.

[@catpoke9557]

Yes, of course. There's a chance of encountering any organism that has ever been on this planet. That includes hybrids. Although it will be hard to tell when we find them, if ever.

[@Spiny_21]

I love Ceratopsians and Lokiceratops I now one of my favorite

[@PelicanMobBoss]

Tell me when someone names one as sigmaceratops

[@KadenSlinker]

Don’t forget Troodontids

[@TikiRainbows]

I see why they thought dragons once existed, if you saw that skeleton, you'd think it was a flame breathing dragon!

[@mr.chicken688]

I too identify as a beast, as described in the title card 😂

[@seanburtch9159]

Title weird but you know wut im here for it

[@susannowak5544]

Thank you for the succinct descriptions …which leave me hungry for more!

[@VWftw82]

Around the new year, I had a sneaking suspicion that we would get at least one new ceratopsid this year. Now, it's come true.

[@sophiekrueger4719]

To be fair, the Franklinian side of things was scraped pretty clean by the glaciers, it's not out fault lol

[@jeremycraft8452]

Dear Mr. President: There are too many ceratopsians. Please remove 3. Thank you.

[@Sybil_Detard]

What do we want? SINGING! When do we want it? AT THE END!

[@dagoodboy6424]

Yo the last pic is missin a leg!

[@chunthebesto]

me too brother me too

[@SolimanElshaarawi-be3uq]

Not the title 😭 ☠️

[@Parroting_Australia234]

Interesting thumbnail.....

[@greenkoopa]

Bonk

[@christianv-h3278]

You might wanna consider.. revising the title a little😅

[@Ballingerdalinger1425]

Me as a dinosaur

[@user-pv3xc7hj5b]

Вот и новый рогатый динозавр. В прошлый раз одного из его родствеников назвали уродом только из-за его мелкого рога на носу. Хорошо что на этот раз новуму цератопсу придумали хорошие имя. Или нет.

[@kylecollier7569]

Is it possible that perhaps Lokiceratops is a different variant of Albertaceratops? Out of curiosity.

[@foxtrotx-ray5283]

Seems Unlikely, But is it POSSIBLE some of these Ceratopsians were the same species, but had significant variation from one individual to another? Seems just as unlikely to me (Though no expert) that small areas as described would be able to support multiple species.

[@EDGEscience]

It is possible! Some researchers already have posited this, just as the authors have. However, the authors think they found enough evidence to identify it as it's own genus. Keep in mind that modern ecosystems have MANY closely related species living together.

[@snpdrg0n]

No offense to the people with those names, but every time I heard them it just made me think of that japanese sports game that made up american-sounding names.

[@Idate._intrepidus7]

Hot take: I really don’t mind pop culture name for prehistoric creature I even like thanos only some dinosaur name are bad to me like gremlin slobodorum and “ beg “ tse

[@catpoke9557]

People should be able to name any organism they discover anything, so long as it's not something offensive. If it's not offensive it isn't harming anyone. I should be able to call my creature Startrek rex if I want to LOL

[@Ballingerdalinger1425]

Nah why you changed the title the first one was better

[@Moishe555]

2019 was bad, but spring of 2020 was wayyy worse when the covid lockdowns hit!
