Strange beaked 'hell chicken' is the first fruit-eating dinosaur

Paleontologists have unveiled Infernogallus, a bizarre beaked dinosaur nicknamed the “hell chicken,” which ate fruit and lived about 66 million years ago. Its fossils were discovered in the Hell Creek formation, revealing a rare frugivorous dinosaur and shedding light on late‑Cretaceous ecosystems. The find challenges previous assumptions about dinosaur diets and highlights the diversity of avian‑like theropods before the mass extinction.
