Some dinosaurs breathe similar to birds, and others more like crocodiles. That is what South African paleontologist Viktor Radermacher found out when he studied the turkey-sized fossil of a Heterodontosaurus. It was found in 2009 in the Northeastern Cape near the hamlet of Rossouw by Dr Billy de Klerk of the Albany Museum.
