A seven-foot-long, 3,000 pound triceratops skull dubbed “Shady” has been unearthed in the Badlands of South Dakota.

“It was so exciting … we just didn’t believe it,” David Schmidt, a geology and environmental science professor at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, said in a statement last week. “Now we’re just living the dream out,” he added

Schmidt is referring to a childhood dream that began at the age of 5 when he found himself face to face with a hadrosaurus skeleton at the University of Kansas National Historical Museum in Lawrence. The experience affected Schmidt so profoundly that it led to a lifelong career of searching for treasure ― and his enthusiasm is contagious.

During their field research, the Westminster group usually expects to find fragments of dinosaur bone and the occasional isolated, complete bone. But everything changed when a rancher discovered something unusual poking out of the earth along a slope as he repaired a fence in the summer of 2019.

If you had one of those things tamed and living in your back yard,you would NEVER have to worry about people sneaking into the back yard to break into your house or garage.

Of course,it would take a HUGE back yard just to be able to hold the litter box and the front end loader you would need to dump it and load it into a dump truck.

And good luck finding a vet!

Hard to say. The cancer isn't going away.

It is what it is.

The upside is it would keep you on your toes,and you would get plenty of running exercise,as well as heavy lifting.

Those guys spend a lot of time working hard out in the sun. Maybe they forgot to wear their hats that day?

Or maybe they were just thinking "This SOB was so big he could provide shade for a whole village if they stood beside him!"?

Try health foods Apricot pits.  You have nothing to lose. I saved all kind of cancer treatments. Take care.
