A new species of ankylosaurine dinosaur, Datai yingliangis, has been discovered in southeastern China from two well-preserved immature skeletons, representing a unique addition to the early Late Cretaceous vertebrate fauna. This ancient armored dinosaur had double cheek horns, making it distinct from other known ankylosaurines and shedding light on the early evolution of this group. The discovery provides valuable insights into the diversity and evolution of armored dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous period.
