Paleontologists have found the remains of giant tortoises in Spain. The dimensions of its preliminary dimensions with the dimensions of the Volkswagen Beetle. Such living people inhabited the earth and swam in its ocean about 70 million years ago, when they had not yet died out in Dina. After examining the surviving fragments, it was found that the case was of an unknown nature. I was born under the name of Leviathanochelys aenigmatica, which is why I have outweighed it as “mysterious giant tortoise”.
And, indeed, it is great – the length of this reached 3.74 meters. It can be considered one day as big turtles that have ever lived on our planet. To do this, comparing it with North American pickers, they found that they are similar only in appearance. Huge dimensions in nature are not found on the unconditional relationship of species, but on disappearing habitat conditions.
Interestingly, this amazing discovery was made quite by accident. One of the tourists, traveling through the Northern Pyrenees, found several bones. After he reported the discovery to paleontologists, specialists arrived at the site, assessed its sensitivity and carefully removed the shell and pelvic bones of the ancient animal. The researchers noticed an important detail that is evident in the use of the version from the fact that it is a new species. One of the bones of the seleto protruded towards the pelvis. This is the so-called frontal process. At meetings with other species, but found in turtles for the first time. Scientists believe that its effect was to more effectively support the muscles of the abdominal cavity. It may very well be that this feature is very sincere. Depths
