Analyses place it closer to living apes than any known East African species of the same age, pointing to North Africa and the Middle East as a possible birthplace and crossroads for the ape lineage that eventually produced gibbons, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans.

Limnospondylus ajimuensis lived around 3.5 million years ago in a warmer, wetter Kyushu and may have reached 1.1 meters in length. Its discovery hints that many more unknown giant salamanders could be hiding among fossils previously given the wrong classification.

New Research Examines Sauropod Rearing Behaviour

Dinosauria behavior biomechanics study

Could giant sauropod dinosaurs stand up on their hind legs? A newly published study has explored this long-debated question using advanced digital biomechanical modelling. The research suggests that although many sauropods were capable of rearing up, the largest species probably found it much more difficult to maintain this posture.  The paper published as an open-access
