Newly Discovered Dinosaur?

The video actually shows a Universal Studios employee operating a puppet. The women are employees working in the “Jurassic Park” area of Universal Studios theme park, as evidence by the logo on one of their shirts.

Despite a video description claiming a “shocking” new species, the creature in the video is the known dinosaur triceratops. This is a baby triceratops, as the horns are not fully grown. One of the workers can be heard in the first few seconds of the video explaining, “It’s a triceratops.”

Visitors can be heard in the background asking if the creature is real.
