Morning, guys, Ricky here with your thursday Newsround.

0:00:130:00:15

First up, a big dino discovery.

0:00:150:00:18

What do you get when you cross a plant-eating dino

0:00:180:00:21

with a meat-eating one?

0:00:210:00:23

Ayshah?

0:00:230:00:27

You get a Frankenstein dinosaur.

0:00:270:00:31

Seriously it's called that.

0:00:310:00:33

Well, it's one of the names.

0:00:330:00:36

It also goes by the name of Chilesaurus.

0:00:360:00:38

No, not hot chilli that you put in a kebab.

0:00:380:00:45

It's named after where it was found in the mountains

0:00:450:00:48

of Chile in south America.

0:00:480:00:50

It was something scientists had never seen before.

0:00:500:00:53

Here is BBC reporter Pallab Ghosh.

0:00:530:00:56

This animal had a real mix of features from different

0:00:560:00:58

groups of dinosaurs.

0:00:580:01:00

It's hip bones were like those of plant eaters such

0:01:000:01:03

as the Stegosaurus.

0:01:030:01:06

And its arms and body were like those of meat eaters,

0:01:060:01:09

such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

0:01:090:01:10

And so Chilesaurus became known as the Frankenstein dinosaur.

0:01:100:01:17

And after two years British scientists think they have solved

0:01:170:01:20

the mystery of who this dino really is and how it fits into

0:01:200:01:23

the dinosaur family.

0:01:230:01:28

Chilesaurus has been revealed to be the missing link

0:01:280:01:30

between one group of dinosaurs, which includes things

0:01:300:01:33

like Stegosaurus and Triceratops, and another group of dinosaurs

0:01:330:01:37

which includes things like Tyrannosaurus rex.

0:01:370:01:39

It really is the missing piece of the puzzle.

0:01:390:01:41

And the dino Chile came first.

0:01:410:01:45

Chilesaurus is there at the beginning of one of these big

0:01:450:01:47

splits and hopefully by understanding more

0:01:470:01:50

about its biology it will tell us what the kinds of driving factors

0:01:500:01:53

leading to this big split might have been.

0:01:530:01:55

Chilesaurus or Frankenstein, whatever you'd like to call it,

0:01:550:01:59

has a pretty funny name, but it has just solved a dino

0:01:590:02:02

dilemma that has puzzled scientists for years and might unlock more dino

0:02:020:02:06

discoveries in the future.

0:02:060:02:11

Now, from what I remember, starting at a new school is one

0:02:110:02:14

of the most exciting things you'll do, but it can also

0:02:140:02:17

be nerve-wracking.

0:02:170:02:20

Some of you will be worrying about what might happen

0:02:200:02:22

there, like bullying.

0:02:220:02:24

We met up with one boy, who's experienced both sides

0:02:240:02:26

of school and is looking forward to going back.

0:02:260:02:31

Hi, my name is Alexander, I'm 11 years old and I'm

0:02:310:02:35

into acting, playing my music, playing tennis and rugby

0:02:350:02:38

and playing with my dog.

0:02:380:02:42

I'm really looking forward to going back to school and I cannot wait.

0:02:420:02:51

Unfortunately a few years ago I was bullied and I was called very

0:02:510:02:56

rude names and rumours were being spread about me and this

0:02:560:03:03

made me feel really sad and it made me feel worried

0:03:030:03:06

about what was going to happen the next day.

0:03:060:03:12

Then I was so fed up with what was happening that

0:03:120:03:16

I decided to enter a competition where I would write

0:03:160:03:18

a letter to the bully telling them how I felt.

0:03:180:03:22

I won first prize.

0:03:220:03:26

After I wrote the letter I felt like I had got something

0:03:260:03:30

off my chest because I hadn't spoken completely outright

0:03:300:03:34

about how I felt beforehand.

0:03:340:03:38

Now I feel that I have come out as a much more confident person

0:03:380:03:41

and I think that the issues I've had have helped to shape

0:03:410:03:44

my independence.

0:03:440:03:46

And now that I am an anti-bullying ambassador I can help people

0:03:460:03:49

and if someone comes up to me and says they feel someone

0:03:490:03:51

has been mean to them, I would know how they feel.

0:03:510:03:58

Remember to tell someone you trust about what is going on.

0:03:580:04:02

It really helps that someone else knows.

0:04:020:04:06

Remember that it's not your fault that someone is being mean to you.

0:04:060:04:11

This year I'm looking forward to our school play and our school

0:04:110:04:18

competitions because they are really crazy and they are

0:04:180:04:21

really fun every year.

0:04:210:04:29

And if bullying is something you are worried about,

0:04:290:04:32

remember to talk to an adult and there's loads of help and advice

0:04:320:04:35

at Newsround online.

0:04:350:04:38

Finally, take a look at these record-breaking parachutists.

0:04:380:04:40

This team from Norway set a new record for the most number

0:04:400:04:43

of rings of people in formation as they skydive.

0:04:430:04:47

They managed to make five rings made up of 52 people.

0:04:470:04:52

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 08.20.

0:04:520:04:58

Hello, everybody.

0:05:030:05:05

My favourite TV programme on CBBC

is Whoops I Missed The Bus,

0:05:060:05:08

because it's such a funny TV show,
