Dinosaur of the day Brodavis, a loon like dinosaur that probably hunted for fish in Cretaceous lakes.

In dinosaur news this week:

• There’s a new unenlagiine dromaeosaur, Diuqin lechiguanae, that was bitten hard enough to leave punctures on its upper arm bone
• Scientists studied skull shapes of 99 animals to figure out how much time Spinosaurus spent in the water
• The sauropod at the NHM officially has a new nickname (same as the old nickname)
• Dinosaur Connection Challenge: Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises)
