What are velafrons?

Velafrons are possibly the world’s earliest beach bums. They were dinosaurs that lived by the Mexican seashore about 7 million years ago. It was a duck-billed dinosaur with a sail-shaped crest on its head. They were recently discovered by US, Canadian and Mexican scientists. Its biological name is Velafrons coahuilensis which means ‘sailed forehead from Coahuila’.
