The beasts were first discovered in 1872 and are known for their prominent horns on their skulls. They ve been included in several distinct families, misidentified as other animals, and assigned various names since their discovery, with no apparent evolutionary history. Researchers from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City used DNA analysis to shed light on these enigmatic reptiles and decide if they belong to their own distinct group, according to the news article.
