A group of paleontologists in Utah, U.S.A. discovered a new species of dinaosaurs. The "Abydosaurus" belongs to the same family of the Brachiosaurus. Paleontologists recovered four intact skulls of these species (which is a rarity; skulls of these species are usually damaged).

Did you know?
...that the spacecraft New Horizons will reach Pluto on July 14th, 2015? It was launched on January 19, 2006 and its mission includes the study of Pluto, its 3 moons and a group of bodies found beyond Pluto known as Kuiper Belt Objects. It received a Jupiter gravity assist which increased its speed to an incredible 16.6 km/s (kilometers per second)!
After studying Puto, the New Horizons will study some Kuiper Belt Objects between 2016 and 2020. It will leave the solar system on 2029.

Their body is covered with hair and spines.They belong to the order Monetremata which means that they lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young like most mammals. Do you know which is the other mammal that lays eggs?
