Ladies and gentlemen, Nanotyrannus lives. Not only that, but it has 2 species within its genus. Thanks to the work of @ExpeditionLive, @JGN_Paleo, and their team, we have the strongest case for this pygmy tyrant so far. NYT article linked, I’m sure more without a paywall later

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Meet Chromis abadhah, a new species from the Maldives that our team just described in collaboration with @MMRI_Maldives! The name abadhah means ‘perpetual’ in Dhivehi, to recognize @ROLEX Perpetual Planet initiative, which funded our work there. https://t.co/wnKkSzj57v

Sad news to report…Leonard Compagno passed away yesterday. A true Giant in Shark Research whose contributions were enormous! I was very fortunate to know him as an advisor, mentor & friend. A once in a generation researcher whose contributions will influence generations to come.

@HBivittatus It looks like they eated too many mineral.

[TheNauticalWarlock @NEvripiotis]

@Trey_Explainer Then (if it has not been made known to you already) you’ll be excited to know that North America has not one but Two native crocodilians, and both can be found in Florida.
