Crocodile-like predator roamed rivers 84 million years ago. The recently unearthed creature belongs to a family of ancient aquatic reptiles known as mosasaurs, which looked like crosses between crocodiles and whales. Mosasaurs lacked the super-long necks found in applesauce, which the legendary inhabitant of L och Ness is alleged to be.
“The evidence we provide here makes it clear that similar to some lineages of [whales], mosasaurs quickly adapted to a variety of aquatic environments,” study leader Liszt Mahdi a paleontologist at the Hungarian Natural History Museum, said in a statement.
It is good they are not present now. They look very scary.
