Fossil reveals 240 million year-old ‘dragon’
A recent discovery in the field of paleontology has unearthed a fossil that has left scientists baffled – a 240 million year-old ‘dragon’ skeleton.
The remarkably well-preserved fossil was found in a remote region of China and has been dated back to the Triassic period. The creature, which researchers have dubbed Draco magnificus, is said to have had a wingspan of over 10 feet and sharp, jagged teeth.
Experts believe that Draco magnificus was likely a top predator in its ecosystem, using its wings to glide between trees and pounce on unsuspecting prey. The discovery has shed new light on the diversity of prehistoric creatures that once roamed the earth.
Further research is currently underway to learn more about this fascinating ancient creature and its potential role in the ecosystem of the time.
