Buitreraptor -- New Dino Species

A new species of dinosaur has been unearthed in South America's Patagonia region, and according to the National Science Foundation threatens to "Redraw Evolutionary Charts," no surprise since evolutionary charts have to be redrawn with just about every paleontological discovery.  The new species was named Buitreraptor gonzalezorum and is a dromaeosaur, a group of dinosaurs that includes Velociraptor.  It differs from other dinosaurs relatives in that is has an unusual skull--one with "long, slender snout and relatively small, widely spaced teeth."

Of course Buitreraptor gonzalezorum has been illustrated with a furry covering of "protofeathers," not because there was any evidence of protofeathers on the specimen, but because the latest whims of evolutionary science demand it.  Many evolutionists think the Buitreraptor find gives new insight into the origin of flight.
