Dinosaur breathed like a modern bird

By Julie Steenhuysen

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Scientists have unearthed the remains of a large meat-eating dinosaur with a breathing apparatus much like a modern bird, fortifying the link between birds and dinosaurs and helping to explain the evolution of birds' unique system of breathing.

Pulled from 85-million-year-old rock along the banks of Rio Colorado in Argentina's Mendoza Province, this 33-foot-long (10 meter), two-legged predator weighed as much as an elephant and likely had feathers, the scientists said.
