Dinosaurs appear to resemble dolphins

After nearly 100 years of being shelved in a museum, the dusty bones were finally reassembled and showed a dinosaur-like appearance.

Unlike the dolphin, however, the dinosaur turned out to belong to a prehistoric 'super beast' line , which had never been discovered before. That is the killer who has the nickname 'underwater tyrant'.

The creature, named Latin Tyrannoneustes lythrodectikos , has "terrorized" residents of warm waters along the British coast during the Jurassic period, about 165 million years ago.

New research has helped reveal one of the first superhuman superheroes, only animals that can hunt prey even bigger than me.

The sharp-toothed monster, described in the Systematic Paleontology magazine, is a nine-meter-long saltwater crocodile when grown up, half the size of a shark, half a dolphin.

Its skeleton was located at the Hunterian Museum of Glasgow University since being excavated by an amateur paleontologist near Peterborough in the early 20th century.

And its importance has finally been restored thanks to the expert team of the University of Edinburgh (UK).
