They are Pegomastax Africanus
They were two feet tall,walked upright, and had porcupine quills.
They lived near where Lesotho is now, and were possibly vegetarians.
They had 'parrot beaks', but with nasty-looking fangs, giving it the 'Dracula' nickname.
They lived two hundred million (?) years ago, and their front paws were like little hands that could grab things.
The rather annoying thing about all this is that the fossils were found fifty years ago, brought to America, and no one until now has inspected them...just let this fascinating little guy sit in storage all these years!

I hope they find out who discovered the fossils. I can't stand being left in the dark like this.
