Baby Dinosaur Skeleton Found!

How cool is this? The tiny, intact skeleton of a baby rhinoceros-like dinosaur has been unearthed in Canada.
The toddler was just 3 years old and 5 feet long when it wandered into a river near Alberta, Canada, and drowned about 70 million years ago. It was so well-preserved that some of its skin left impressions in the nearby rock.
The fossil is the smallest intact skeleton ever found from a group of horned, plant-eating dinosaurs known as ceratopsids, a group that includes the iconic Triceratops.
