Scientists have just found sea cow fossils.

This 20 million-year-old fossil has a body nearly 10 meters long, weighs about 10 tons, living under an underground river. According to experts, this is a sea cow, a mammal species that settles under underground rivers.

The main food of this species is plants living in rivers, marshes, coastal areas and they have become extinct more than 20 million years ago.

When excavating this creature fossil, archaeologists found the spine and ribs clinging to the cliff. Experts were skillful to get the whole fossil intact.
