Dino Eater Monster salamanders’ fossils found in Portugual
Published on March 27, 2017
Scientists have discovered a new species of massive, toothy amphibian dating from 220 million years ago.
Hundreds of the creatures probably died when a lake dried up, leaving a huge jumble of bones which is now being excavated in southern Portugal.
Although related to modern salamanders, the two-metre beast probably lived more like a crocodile, snapping up fish and scrapping with rivals on the shore.
The find is reported in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
