12 Obscure Dinosaurs You’ve Never Heard Of

If you ask any of your friends to name a dinosaur, you’ll probably hear a “T-Rex” or a “Triceratops”, popularized by books, movies, and other media. However, none of your friends will tell you about a Linhenykus or a Helicoprion (which is technically not even a dinosaur) and if, for example, people saw Jeholopterus in any of the Jurassic Park movies, they’d be scared for their life, so here are some of the weirdest dinosaurs you never knew existed.

1) Incisovisaurus – discovered in China; this 3-foot long fellow is nothing short of weird. I mean, just look at those teeth! It had a face of a raptor, the buckteeth of a rodent, a body of an ostrich and hands and feet of a chicken.

2) Sharovipteryx is so weird looking, it almost seems like an evolutionary mistake. It’s the only known glider species that grew wings on their legs. How did it even walk with those long hind legs?
