A dinosaur mystery that has baffled palaeontologists for 50 years has finally been solved.

In the 1960s, researchers unearthed two gigantic dinosaur arms. For decades, scientists have speculated about what kind of beast they belonged to.
Now, the rest of the dinosaur's body has been unearthed, and researchers say that the creature is even more bizarre than they had thought.
They say it was huge, with a beak, a humped back and giant, hoofed feet.
The study is published in the journal Nature.
