A new 1)dinosaur species has been discovered in America, and it’s been named “Thunder thighs.” Not usually the nicest name to be called, but scientists believe it’s the most appropriate because of its 2)enormously powerful thigh muscles. And it certainly could have given other animals a 3)hefty kick. Researchers believe the beast used the muscles for kicking during fights over a mate or to 4)ward off 5)predators. The 6)fossilized bones of two 7)specimens, an adult and a 8)juvenile, were rescued from a previously 9)looted and damaged 10)quarry in eastern Utah. The team believe it was once a member of the long-necked family group of dinosaurs, which included the Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus. It’s thought that it lived about 110 million years ago and had the largest leg muscles of any dinosaur in that family.
美国发现了一种恐龙新物种，它被命名为“雷腿”。这个名字听上去不怎么优雅，但科学家认为这是最确切的名字，因为这种恐龙的大腿肌肉无比壮硕，它们绝对可以给其他动物有力一击。研究人员相信，这种恐龙在求偶或驱逐其他肉食动物时，它们有力的大腿在搏斗时会大派用场。这两块化石骨头标本分别来自成年恐龙和幼年恐龙，它们在犹他州东部的一个曾遭抢掠和破坏的采石场中被发现。研究小组认为，这种恐龙曾是长颈恐龙家族的成员之一，该家族还包括梁龙和长臂龙。科学家认为“雷腿”生活在1.1亿年以前，是其恐龙家族中腿部肌肉最发达的物种。
