These two dinosaurs roamed the earth 125 million years ago, which must have been a terrible sight. Both dinosaurs were nine meters long and had crocodile-like skulls, but with a series of low horns and bulges.
One has been called a ‘hell heron’, as scientists believe its hunting style would have been a fearsome version of the modern-day birds.
One of these dinosaurs is called the "hell heron" because scientists believe that it preyed much like modern heron birds, but was more ferocious and terrifying.
Bones from the heads and the tails were discovered on a beach near Brighstone over a period of a few years, and experts say the discovery of the two animals so close together was a huge surprise.
Over the course of several years, their skulls and coccyx have been found on a sandy beach near Breston, the Isle of Wight, and experts point out that it was a huge surprise that the two species were found so close.
