Morning, guys.

It's Thursday, I'm Ricky

and this is Newsround.

Coming up.

The new dino discovery that's got scientists excited.

Could new homes help hedgehogs?

First up today, a big dino discovery.

What do you get

when you cross a plant-eating dino with a meat-eating one?

Here's Ayshah?

You get a Frankenstein dinosaur.

Seriously, it's called that.

Well, it's one of the names.

It also goes by the name of Chilesaurus.

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

# Feeling hot, hot, hot. #

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

of Chile in South America.

It was something scientists had never seen before.

Here's BBC reporter Pallab Ghosh.

This animal had a real mix of features from different

groups of dinosaurs.

Its hip bones were like those of plant eaters,

such as the Stegosaurus.

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

such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

And so Chilesaurus became known as a Frankenstein dinosaur.

And so Chilesaurus became known as a Frankenstein dinosaur.

And after two years, British scientists think they've

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

into the dinosaur family.

Chilesaurus has been revealed to be the missing link

between one group of dinosaurs, which include things

like Stegosaurus and triceratops, and another group of dinosaurs

which includes things like Tyrannosaurus Rex.

It really is the missing piece of the puzzle.

And the dino Chile came first.

Chilesaurus is there at the beginning of these big splits

and hopefully by understanding more about biology it will tell us

what the kinds of driving factors leading to those big splits

might have been.

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

has a pretty funny name, but it's just solved a dino dilemma

that's puzzled scientists for years and might unlock more dino

discoveries in the future.

OK, let's get a couple of quick sports stories for you.

It was an epic night at Celtic Park, as the Scottish

champions thrashed their opponents Astana of Kazakhstan

5-0 in the first leg of their Champions League match.

Two Scott Sinclair goals helped them to an easy win.

The next leg is next week.

And England and Ireland can reach the semifinals of

the Women's Rugby World Cup later.

England take on USA, knowing a win would mean

they qualify for the last four, while Ireland have to beat

France to make the semis.

Now to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo where 1,500 performers put

on a spectacular show in the presence of royalty.

The Prince of Wales and his son the Duke of Cambridge

attended the event at Edinburgh Castle last night.

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

of the most exciting things you'll do.

But it can also be nerve-wracking.

Some of you will be worrying about what might happen there.

Like bullying.

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

of school and is looking forward to going back.

Hi, my name is Alexander.

I'm 11 years old and I enjoy acting, playing my music,

playing tennis and rugby and playing with my dog.

I'm really looking forward to going back to school.

And I cannot wait.

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

rude names and rumours were being spread about me.

And this made me feel really sad and made me feel worried

about what was going to happen the next day.

Then I was so fed up with what was happening,

I decided to enter a competition where I would write

a letter to the bully telling them how I felt.

I won first prize.

After I wrote the letter, I felt like I'd got something

off my chest because I hadn't spoken completely outright

about how I felt beforehand.

Now I feel I have come out a much more confident person and I think

the issues I've had have helped to shape my independence

and now that I'm an anti-bullying Ambassador I can help people

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

someone is being to them, then I know how they feel.

Remember to tell someone you trust about what's going on.

It really helps that someone else knows.

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

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

competitions because they are really crazy and they are

really fun every year.

And if bullying is something you are worried about,

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

and advice at Newsround online.

Last up, animal experts are trying to get us to think more

about our spikey friends, hedgehogs.

Their numbers have been going down in recent years and a project called

Hedgehog Street wants to find out if more of us building hedgehog

houses could help to protect them.

That's all from me.

Newsround's back right at 4.20.

Bye!

Hey, Ozzy, did you hear the news? No, man. What's up?

Miss Amanda isn't going to be our dance teacher any more.
