First Meat-Eating Duck-Like Dinosaur Skeleton Discovered

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Scientists in Mongolia are making headlines for a dinosaur skeleton that no one has ever seen before.

Paleontologists have unearthed the full skeleton of a dinosaur that likely looked like this.

The dinosaur holds a striking resemblance to ducks.

Paleontologists say it's the very first meat-eating, two-legged dinosaur with the ability to swim.

The researchers say it was only 18-inches tall and roamed the earth roughly 75 million years ago.
