An exciting new find out of New Mexico has revealed a new species of Tyrannosaur in the southern United States. Along with being the first new species of Tyrannosaurid named in 30 years in America, the animal has the distinction of having more teeth than its famous cousin, Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The dino's remains were removed VIP-style, airlifted by a helicopter operated by the Air Wing of the New Mexico Army National Guard.
The paper on Bistahieversor sealeyi can be found in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. The article can be found at Discovery.
