’Frozen Dragon’ Species Was Trapped in Ice for 76 Mln Years
In a frosty Canadian park, hidden deep beneath layers of thick ice, scientists discovered a bizarre skeleton they named the “frozen dragon”. The skeleton had been in the frozen ice for millions of years. It took experts decades to work out the species of this strange fossil. It was identified as a new genus of pterosaur.
Pterosaurs were massive flying reptiles with wingspans of over 16 feet. Their heads were 3.5 times the size of their bodies. Pterosaurs lived 76 million years ago when they soared above the dinosaurs. Scientists described them as the “biggest, meanest, and most bizarre animals that ever flew.” The new genus has been named Cryodrakon Boreas, which translates to “frozen dragon of the north winds.”
At a gold mine in Siberia, a businessman was examining a nearby river when he noticed something interesting in the frost. It was a small wooly rhino calf that was later named Sasha. The wooly rhino has been extinct for 15,000 years. It’s thought that Sasha could’ve been frozen in the ice for up to 39,000 years. Sasha is unique because it’s the only full-body wooly rhino to have ever been discovered.
