Chicken From Hell: 11 Feet Long, 500 Pounds, Found In The Dakotas
Scientists from Carnegie and Smithsonian museums and the University of Utah today unveiled the discovery, naming and description of a sharp-clawed, 500-pound, bird-like dinosaur that roamed the Dakotas with T. rex 66 million years ago and looked like an 11 ½-foot-long “chicken from hell.”

With its head crest and presumably feathered forelegs, the newly discovered and described dinosaur Anzu wyliei was nicknamed the “chicken from hell” by its discoverers at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History and University of Utah.

Emma Schachner, a postdoctoral fellow in biology at the University of Utah, worked with researchers from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History to publish a study unveiling the discovery, name and description of a 66-million-year-old bird-like, beaked, head-crested 500-pound dinosaur species, Anzu wyliei, which the researchers nicknamed the “chicken from hell.” Schachner recently has studied the respiratory systems of lizards and alligators, like the one she is holding here.

At a scientific meeting in 2005 Lamanna, Lyson and Schachner realized they had fossils of the same new species of dinosaur. They soon began collaborating on the new study and asked Sues to join them because he was an expert on this type of dinosaur, Schachner says.
“It took years since all of us had busy schedules, and I moved to Utah in 2010 to work on reptile respiratory evolution,” she says.
The study’s four authors finally met for a week at the Carnegie Museum to work on the dinosaur together. Among other tasks, Schachner illustrated and photographed some of the bones.
She says the process was “really exciting. Naming a dinosaur is one of those things I’ve wanted to be involved in since I was a kid.”

But did they taste like chicken? Just think of the size of the drum sticks you’d have got out of one of them critters
I was wondering the same thing.
Tastes great with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy.
who taught this character to write, is this wells fkn 1984 and I missed it? frankly I expect better written reports and not as misleading.
