A new species of duck-billed dinosaur, Ahshislesaurus wimani, was discovered in New Mexico, dating back about 75 million years. The fossil, initially misclassified, was re-examined and identified as a distinct species, adding to the diversity of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs in North America and highlighting the region's rich paleontological history.
Scientists have proposed that a duck-billed dinosaur may have swum across an ocean from Eurasia to Africa, challenging the traditional belief that all dinosaurs were strictly land-based. This theory arose from the need to explain how the dinosaur species could have traveled such a distance when Africa was surrounded by water, and it opens up new possibilities for understanding the capabilities of these ancient creatures.
