Through the joint expedition underway in Iran’s Alborz mountains, a number of archeologists from Iran and China have found fossils of some two-legged dinosaurs, according to Chinese state-owned newspaper, The People's Daily.

According to IRNA, the Alborz Mountain is a mountain range in northern Iran that stretches from the border of Azerbaijan along the western and entire southern coast of the Caspian Sea and finally runs northeast and merges into the Aladagh Mountains in the northern parts of Khorasan.

Scientists are studying the remnants of the dinosaurs, and those similar fossiles found in the Chinese Sichuan Province in 1990.

Some other discoveries have been done in eastern and southern China on the same type of dinosaurs and their fossils.

It is believed that the type of two-legged dinosaurs, according to Jurassic movies, had been hunting in packs, but based on the new findings from Alborz mountains, it seems probable that the extinct animals could hunt alone as well.
