Scientists dug up a new flying dinosaur and it is apparently so terrifying that they just went ahead and named it "The Dragon of Death"

Scientists are well known for their precise, evidence-based approach to terminology, but sometimes even words fail them and they just go with what feels right:

The fossilised remains of a huge flying reptile dubbed the 'Dragon of Death' โ€“ which lived alongside the dinosaurs 86 millions of years ago โ€“ have been unearthed in Argentina.

Measuring about 30ft (9m) long, it is the largest pterosaur discovered in South America and one of the biggest flying vertebrates to have ever lived.

Researchers said the 'beast' would likely have been a frightening sight as it hunted its prey from prehistoric skies.

Oh, it would have "likely" been frightening? Yeah uh huh I think maybe that's true. It's not exactly the kind of thing you want to see when you're at a picnic or out on the lake something.

Just to emphasize how unbelievably terrifying this beast truly was:

The reptile was as long as a yellow school bus with an estimated wingspan of around 30ft (9m).

I know what you're thinking, and I'm thinking the same thing: It wouldn't be too bad to bone up on your archery skills right about now.

I mean the threat at this point seems minimal but you can never be too safe right?

Alternatively, we could harness the power of the dragon and create the most fearsome fighting force the world has ever known!!
