Scientists have identified a new dinosaur in south-eastern Australia.
It’s thought that the Galleonosaurus dorisae was alive 125 million years ago and would have been roughly the same height as a wallaby.
It was given its name because its jaw resembles an upturned galleon ship.
Based on its teeth, Galleonsaurus would have been a herbivore and belonged to the ornithopod family.
The findings were published in the Journal of Paleontology.
