New Dinosaur: First Freshwater Mosasaur Discovered


A discovery in Hungary provides us with knowledge of the first freshwater mosasaur. The species lived about 84 million years ago and belongs to the mosasaur family. The largest of this species was able to grow 20 feet in length. They were known as a gigantic fin having marine lizard. Researchers have discovered multiple fossils revealing juveniles and adults to have unusual shaped heads, tails, and fins from other species in the same family.
