🦴🔬 A #fossil sitting in a #museum drawer since 1979 turned out to be a brand new species: *#Tylosaurus rex*.

Lead researcher Amelia Zietlow (#AMNH) noticed that a #Texas #mosasaur specimen labeled as a known species didn’t match its relatives. The 13-meter-long apex #predator had serrated #teeth, massive jaw #muscles, and battle #scars from fights with its own kind.

Izubera is a #nothosaur mutated by careless dumping in the North Sea. She attacks with a high-pressure stream of water.

Another week or two of feeding and neither of these sea monsters would be able to submerge. Who knew the seventh trophic level could get this soft?

That little space feather duster sure has some lungs on him. He might want to find a space better suited to a life-sized #inflatable #temnodontosaurus though…

"I feel like an overfilled pooltoy. *urp* Another week of this and neither of us will be able to dive..."

The #Avali pits his powerful respiratory system against the life-sized #Temnodontosaurus' appetite for air. It's probably going to be a stalemate, there's not enough space for the big-eyed #marinereptile to finish growing.

Building a better pouncing toy. Lawrence the #styracosaurus. Due to some difficulties experienced with Rockeye's airbrush-style paint job, I might have to redo the art for this guy and some of the other stuff in planning...
