Scientists have discovered an ancient, giant, crocodile-like creature
in Madagascar that had T-Rex-sized teeth it used for crunching bones,.
The discovery helps to fill in the evolutionary gaps of a 74 million
year long crocodilian “ghost lineage.”
Researchers first discovered fossils of a giant predator on the
island over a decade ago. At the time, scientists believed they had
discovered a large predator from the Jurassic period and they named the
creature Razanandrongobe sakalavae, meaning “giant lizard ancestor from Sakalava region.”
