Scientists Named Recently Discovered "4-Legged Whale" After Egyptian God of Death

Scientists have discovered a 43-million-year-old fossil of an ancient four-legged whale that was amphibious, meaning it could live on land and in the sea. The now-extinct species was named "Phiomectus Anubis" after Anubis, the Egyptian deity of death.

The finest time in history for dinosaur study is right now. People are discovering more dinosaurs than ever before: around 50 new species are found each year, which is fantastic. A new species emerges every week-an entirely new species, not a new bone or skeleton.

Employing New Technology

New technology is proving to be quite beneficial. CAT scanning, which can be used to examine inside dinosaur skulls, is probably the finest illustration of this. The brain, sensory organs, sinuses, blood arteries, and nerves buried inside T. rex's skull have now been disclosed. In addition, paleontologists can create computer reconstructions of the dinosaur's brain, which indicates that it was rather big. It had a brain size comparable to chimps, suggesting that it was a clever animal, far smarter than most people believe.
