Mysterious Chinese dragon discovered It was a champion swimmer
Ateam of paleontologists have revealed an extraordinarily well-preserved fossil of a strange aquatic reptile that lived approximately 240 million years ago during the Triassic period.
Nicknamed the 'dragon of Lingwu' after the region in China it was found, the creature has been identified as a new species called Dinocephalosaurus orientalis.
The fossil measures over 16 feet long, with a neck spanning over 5 feet - longer than its body and tail combined.
Dr. Nick Fraser, curator of the National Museums Scotland who helped study the fossil, told BBC that this creature had "flipper-like limbs and an extremely long neck with 32 separate vertebrae - making it a very strange animal indeed.
