Ancient monitor lizards have been classified as imaginary creatures for a long time.

It was not until the Queensland Zoological Institute discovered its fossils that it really proved its existence.

According to the analysis of the data compiled by the Queensland Institute of Zoology, this creature existed between 1 million and 40,000 years ago.

The top predators belonging to the post-dinosaur era also opened the era of reptiles dominating the mainland.

In the ranking of paleontological strength.

Ranked third.

In front of it are Tyrannosaurus Rex and Saber-toothed Tiger.

It is enough to see its predatory ability.

Its close relatives still live in the world, immigrating from Australia to the Komodo dragon in Southeast Asia.

Information from the Queensland Institute of Zoology shows that the ancient monitor lizard is much larger than the Komodo monitor.

In the past century, there have been repeated news that the ancient monitor lizard may survive on the Australian mainland.

It is precisely because of the spread of similar news that more indigenous people heard the name "Australian Dragon".

Those who do not understand this regard the Australian dragon as a terrorist creature.

The indigenous people of Koori even regarded it as a water monster.

On October 12, 1968, someone in Queensland claimed to witness a 40-foot-long monitor lizard.

In 1977, a camper in Townsville, Australia claimed to be scared by a huge reptile. The footprints found by several juveniles are consistent with the 30-foot-long reptiles and are much larger than the Komodo dragon.

In 2007, Tim Eklin, who was keen on outdoor sports, entered the wilderness of Australia's animal rainforest to survive. Although Tim has very rich outdoor survival skills, but he did not come out of the rain forest.

His body has never been found. The indigenous guide found his camera equipment less than 400 meters away from the village [August 1 Chinese website www.x81zw.xyz]. The saliva on the equipment was tested for DNA, and saliva was found. Does not belong to any known reptiles.

In the tropical rain forests of Australia, there are many creatures that have not been documented or found.

...

Similar news about ancient monitor lizards is emerging.

Liu Wei believes that the most scientific judgment, this creature has disappeared on the earth.

The most direct basis for judgment is the existing living environment in Australia, and the animals that live on the Australian mainland cannot meet its predation needs.

It is conceivable to compare the Australia with the giant marsupial creature of 40,000 years ago and the Australian wild dog who has become the top predator on the mainland.

It is easy to draw conclusions.

It is no longer possible for mainland Australia to assume the survival of large predators.

After Liu Wei wiped off the dirt on the skull, he reached out and grabbed the skull, ready to hold it.

He found that the entire skull was trapped in the mud under the water.

It’s just a part of it.

It is only revealed that this part has left a horrible impression among the local indigenous people.

Liu Wei began to plan the dirt on the edge.

After digging for a while, it discovered the skeleton of the ancient monitor lizard.

Only a part of the ribs were exposed.

Liu Wei guessed that perhaps this was a very complete fossil of an ancient monitor lizard.

If so, how big is this body?

worthy of study.

In various media reports, some say that the body of an ancient monitor lizard is seven to eight meters long or even ten meters long, with a weight of one or two tons.

It is too different from the data given by the Queensland Zoological Institute.

According to the data compiled by the Queensland Zoological Institute, the average body length of the ancient monitor lizard is about 3.5 meters, because animals like the monitor lizard can grow for life, which can be extended to guess. Perhaps the ancient monitor lizard can grow up to 6 or 7 meters and weigh Can reach up to two or three hundred kilograms.

The degree of coincidence with media exaggerated reports is not high.

Liu Wei tried again to pull the skull of the ancient monitor lizard.

This time it was easily picked up.

Its skull fossil and body skeleton are separated.

Liu Wei could not carry out such a large-scale excavation under the water. He decided to take the skull ashore first and contact the Queensland Zoological Institute.

...

After the herders returned to the village, they were very anxious and called for some people to come.

No one has been in the water for several years. Today Liu Wei jumped into the water to make herdsmen uneasy.

Judging by his subjective consciousness, Liu Wei may have gone.

When he summoned the villagers to the lake, there was no movement on the lake.

He looked around and couldn't see Liu Wei's shadow. Only the camel brought by Liu Wei was eating grass.

His expression suddenly became tense.

"It's over, it's over!" the herdsman said.

"Isn't there a warning sign? Why did the young man go on!" the young man standing beside the herder asked impatiently.

The herdsman explained: "He claimed to be an animal researcher. He didn't believe there was an Australian dragon in the water. He had to go to the water to check it. I'm too old to hold him!"

The herdsman's tone is a little urgent, and he can hear a little guilt!

"Forget it, some more warning signs in the future!" the young man waved.

The villagers who arrived felt that Liu Wei had drowned and died. The reason for his drowning was that the Australian dragon mentioned in their mouth dragged Liu Wei down.

Just as everyone shook their heads to leave.

Ripples rippled on the surface of the lake.

"Lying trough, are you still alive? I thought Awei GG!"

"What's under the water?"

"What happened? I was very curious!"

"Why not bring us?"

The audience watching the live broadcast first got excited.

The herdsman also noticed the movement on the lake, and pointed at the lake with some excitement. "Look, look!"

As the water ripples become larger and larger.

The villagers thought that the monsters living under the water would surface. This may be the first time they all saw the true appearance of the monsters.

Everyone was frightened.

But he looked forward to seeing the monsters spreading all over the village.

"It's him, that young man!"

The herder squinted at Liu Wei's head and shouted excitedly.

"He is not dead!"

The villagers caught up immediately.

Liu Wei walked slowly to the shore, and the villagers found him holding a skeleton in his hands, all eyes on the skeleton.

"what is this?"

Similar questions were raised one after another in the crowd.

Liu Wei opened the mask and smiled, "This is the monster you said, the Australian dragon mentioned by the uncle!"

The villager looked surprised and took two steps back, squeezing left and right.

"Water monster was killed by you!"

Some villagers have been frightened by rumors and have lost the simplest ability to think.

Is the skull of the creature just killed like this?

Liu Wei patiently explained: "The uncle is right, there is indeed an Australian dragon under the water, but it is dead and has died for tens of thousands of years. The skull in my hand is its fossil.

You should have seen the fossils covered by sediments before, because the refraction of sunlight in the water, coupled with the fluctuation of the water lines, looks like a living thing.

As for someone drowning in the water, I think it should be normal drowning. The lake water is very deep and the visibility is not high, which is prone to drowning.

The thick silt on the edge of the lake may be the reason why the livestock were drowned.

From this point of view, the water monster does not exist!"

The villagers glanced at each other, and once again focused on the skull in Liu Wei's hand, maintaining a puzzled face, and questioning the truthfulness of Liu Wei's explanation.
