When we talk about amazing animals, many people are already starting to think about their favorite species of the present and the past and, if you say so of a photographer who likes to click on nature, surely the cat will become even more interesting and rich in information.
Now, can you imagine that if today’s technologies existed at least 8.5 million years ago, a trip to the Amazon to use this new lens you’d like to try could click on a species with it?ONLY 12 METERS IN LENGTH!
- This claim about the alligator Purussaurus can be made in a study published this week by the USP paleontology laboratory in Ribeiro Preto.

With the material collected between 2013 and 2016 in two cities in the interior of Acre (Senator Guiomard and Manuel Urbano), belonging to the strip of the ancient Amazon, many other species of size have been discovered completely discovered outside current standards.

The research of the paleontology team responsible for these revelations includes that animals with more terrestrial habits, such as sloths and armadillos, were also animals of incredible size in the place called Lake Pebas; however, it is more difficult to find such fossils dry.complicating the task of obtaining evidence of his thesis.
“There were primates, there were other animals, but it’s hard to find.For example: birds, we have three or four fossils. We can’t say we didn’t have it, that everyone lived in the water.We had animals with terrestrials, habits, but these fossils are harder to find due to sedimentation?, said Bissaro Junior, phD in paleontology.
