Watch: New dinosaur species added to museum's collection

A dinosaur roughly the size of a labrador has been reclassified as a new species after being incorrectly identified for years, scientists have revealed.

Named Enigmacursor, which translates to "puzzling runner", this dinosaur roamed the Earth about 150 million years ago, sharing its habitat with iconic giants like the Stegosaurus.

Originally thought to be a Nanosaurus, further research has shown that it is, in fact, a distinct species.

On Thursday, the Enigmacursor made history as the first new dinosaur species added to the Natural History Museum's display in London since 2014.
