A new dinosaur species has been discovered in the Sahara Desert, with some reports describing it as a large, horned creature with a distinctive head crest, nicknamed the "hell heron". The discovery was made by paleontologists, although the exact location within the Sahara is unclear, with reports mentioning the central Sahara, Niger, and conflictingly, Thailand. The species may be related to the spinosaurus, but details of the discovery are still emerging.
