1. Just like the headline implies, this is such a vibe and I don’t care who says it’s not exciting.
2. That NAME! Absolute move to call it after the beast of Midgard and Valhalla. 🔥🔥🔥

Today's #megafauna is tylosaurus, a late #cretaceous mosasaur that swam through water with its tail (not its flippers.)The long, narrow snout of #tylosaurus reduced drag as it swam. It also hosted a powerful jaw and upwards of 70 teeth.
However, the reduction of teeth and reinforced tip of the snout suggest that tylosaurus likely rammed large prey from below. Tylosaurus fed on just about anything, including other #mosasaurs, sharks, pterosaurs, and swept-away carcasses of land #dinosaurs.
