Image: The Best-Preserved Dinosaur Skeleton Ever Has Been Found In Europe
He is a kind of Theropod, apparently - the same suborder that T-Rexes belong to. And the fossil is 98 percent complete, which is very close to completely complete. Also, he was only one year old when he died, which is sad. This buzz brought to you by the government agents who are burying dinosaur fossils to make us think the world is more than 4,000 years old. (And io9.com.)

A giant fossil sea monster found in the Arctic and known as “Predator X” had a bite four times as strong as that of the T-Rex, according to scientists. The pliosaur would have been about 50 feet long. It is thought to have lived in the Jurassic oceans 147 million years ago.

Translation: really huge & terrifying snake. Scientists have discovered fossils that prove the existence of a gigantic boa constrictor that weighed 2.500 pounds and was longer than a city bus. It probably ATE CROCODILES. Also, good news: a snake's size is related to how warm the environment is, so obviously global warming=giant crocodile-eating snakes. Al Gore really should have stressed that part more.
