The giant death dragon in Argentina

Researchers found fossils of pterosautus, the giant reptiles found that had wingspans of 7 meters and 9 meters, respectively.

Researchers also confirmed that the reptile was Azhdarchidae, a family of pterosaurs that lived at the end of the Cretaceous period, or about 146 million to 66 million years ago.

The two pterosarus were identified by researchers as individuals belonging to the species Thanatosdrakon amaru.

Researchers say that this pterosaur is the only species in the genus Thanatosdrakon which means dragon of death in Greek.

While the species name “amaru” translates as “flying snake” it comes from the Indigenous Quechuan language and refers to Amaru, the two-headed Inca god.

Researchers also revealed that both pterosaurs died at the same time, even though one was not yet fully mature. It is not clear whether the two animals are part of the same family.

Researchers also confirmed that the two giant death dragon specimens were of different sizes and that the smaller one was a juvenile-subadult that died together more than 86 million years ago.

Snake venom and spiders habitat bacteria

Study group of researchers reported that they found a new habitat for bacteria. This habitat is unusual, because they found bacteria living in snake venom and spiders.

Bacteria are small, resourceful organisms. They can live in some of the strangest and most inhospitable places on our planet.

Call it arid deserts, toxic acid lakes, even deep in the earth’s crust beneath the ocean floor.

However, scientists have just discovered a very unexpected new habitat for the tiny, powerful microbe, in the venom of snakes and spiders.

The findings also contradict what scientists previously thought.

The venom of snakes and spiders is known to contain antimicrobial compounds, which scientists consider a sterile environment that does not allow microbes to thrive.

However, these findings reveal that the bacteria causing the infection could already be present in the poison before the victim was bitten.

This suggests anyone bitten by a snake or spider may also need to be treated for the infection.
