Researchers claim to have found bones from a "nightmarish" type of sea lizard that lived 66 million years ago and hunted the waters.

With "dagger-like" teeth, Khinjaria acuta measured about 26 feet (8 meters) in length, which is the same length as an orca.

According to researchers, the species coexisted with Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops, among other dinosaurs.

The investigation of a skull and other skeletal remains discovered at a Moroccan mine served as the basis for the study.

The study's lead author, Dr. Nick Longrich of the University of Bath, described the "freakish" species as having "a demon's face and teeth like knives."

Researchers described the creature as having a "nightmarish appearance" and "a terrible biting force" because to its strong jaw and teeth.

It also helped the group come up with the ideal moniker for the species.

"Literally meaning "sharp dagger" or "sharp knife," the Arabic word khinjar and the Latin word acuta mean "sharp" and "dagger," respectively," Dr. Longrich continued.

Khinjaria acuta belongs to the mosasaur family of enormous marine lizards, which are descended from modern-day Komodo dragons and anacondas.


The lizard, according to researchers, was only one of several apex predators that lived in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco.

"This is one of the most diverse marine faunas seen anywhere, at any time in history, and it existed just before the marine reptiles and the dinosaurs went extinct," stated Dr. Longrich.

About 66 million years ago, near the conclusion of the Late Cretaceous epoch, both dinosaurs and mosasaurs were extinct.

The seas became more accessible to whales, seals, swordfish, and tuna as a result of their disappearance. However, it also meant that there are fewer apex predators in contemporary marine food networks.

"There seems to have been a huge change in the ecosystem structure in the past 66 million years," stated Dr. Longrich.

We don't find the same remarkable diversity of apex predators in contemporary marine communities as we did in the Late Cretaceous.

We're not sure if the presence of marine reptiles, the prey, or maybe the surroundings contributed to the altered ecology.

"But this was an incredibly dangerous time to be a fish, a sea turtle, or even a marine reptile."

LONDON: According to The Times, archaeologists have discovered hundreds of artifacts and human remains in a secret tomb in Petra, Jordan. Researchers may be able to answer long-standing doubts about the ancient city's origins and its builders thanks to the discovery of the 2,000-year-old underground location. The tomb, which was beneath Petra's Treasury, had hundreds of bronze, iron, and ceramic objects in addition to twelve well-preserved skeletons. The renowned structure, which has been portrayed in movies like "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," was excavated beneath it by the combined US-Jordanian archaeological team that discovered the discovery.
