Ancient Gigantic Sea Monster Unearthed in Mexico

A new species of mosasaur, a gigantic ancient sea monster, has been discovered in Mexico with a nearly complete skull. Named Yaguarasaurus regiomontanus, this slender-jawed creature belonged to the extinct Mosasauridae group and provides valuable insights into the size, migration, and mating patterns of mosasaurs that lived over 90 million years ago. Mosasaurs were fully aquatic predators that roamed the oceans, feeding on fish, cephalopods, sharks, and even other mosasaurs. The latest discovery is estimated to be over 17 feet long, but some fossils indicate sizes of nearly 40 feet. The complex ancestry of mosasaurs within the Mosasauridae family is still a subject of debate among researchers.
