A new species of Tyranasourus called "Thanatotheristes degrootorum" is translated from Greek as "Reaper of Death". The archeologists chose the name because the dinosaur is the only apex predator so far found in Canada from 80 million years ago. He would have stood about 8 feet tall with very sharp teeth! Yikes!
