lizard

A glimpse into the animal kingdom’s food chain 48 million years ago has been made possible by the discovery of a very unique fossil.

A lizard fossilized in amber that was found in Southeast Asian could date back 99 million years, which would make it among the oldest reptile of its kind ever found.

Mother nature has an endless cabinet of curiosities for the zoologist, from eerie camouflages to spider cannibalism, but some things are so strange, it stands out even among the freakish.

A new study describes how a small bone fragment indicates that a giant predatory lizard akin to the Komodo Dragon likely lived alongside Aborigines on the Australian continent about 50,000 years ago.
