WASHINGTON (AP) — New fossil study shows giant salamanderlike animal with sharp fangs existed some 40 million years before the dinosaurs.
Giant Horned Dinosaur Discovered In Ancient Swamps Of Montana. A ‘remarkable’ new species of giant horned, plant-eating dinosaur ranks among the largest ever discovered. The Lokiceratops rangiformis, a relative of Triceratops, was identified from a skull unearthed in the ancient swamp ‘badlands’ of Montana, near the USA-Canada border. The dinosaur is notable for several unique features, including two massive blade-like horns on the back of its frill and the absence of a nose horn. Scientists report the skull was longer than any other dinosaur within its group, Centrosaurinae, nearly matching the size of later horned giants. They estimate Lokiceratops measured around 6.7 meters in length and weighed approximately five tonnes. Like other ceratopsian dinosaurs, Lokiceratops had a mouth filled with over 200 teeth. Scientists believe Lokiceratops inhabited the swamps and floodplains along the eastern shore of Laramidia the island continent now comprising the western part of North America, more than 78 million years ago.
With lengthy fangs and a massive skull, a giant salamander-like creature was likely the terror of polar swamps 40 million years before the dinosaurs appeared.

British politics has hardly covered itself in glory in recent years. After the shame of the Corbyn years was punctured by the glorious Tory victory of 2019, we were subjected to a veritable gallery of disgrace: soaring immigration, Covid authoritarianism, Partygate, the Truss-Kwarteng interregnum, Gaza fanaticism. But the true nadir was the election of George Galloway in Rochdale.

A shocking animal protest displaying a 'dead dog being roasted on a stick has left Henley Royal Regatta attendees 'stunned'. The daring stunt, which revealed a lurcher dog 'being cooked' under a banner that read 'The Great Dog Roast', occurred at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, yesterday (3 July). The prestigious rowing event, attended by celebrities and royalty alike, attracted crowds of 300,000 spectators - and many were left 'horrified' to see the unusual delicacy: a dog roast. The stunt, in which a silicone model of a dog was used, was organised by the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity, Viva! in a bid to 'challenge the perception that it’s socially acceptable to eat some animals but not others'. Viva!’s founder & director, Juliet Gellatley, said: “This Viva! stunt pushed boundaries and had the desired effect of shocking thousands of people into facing the reality that eating pigs, cows and other animals isn’t so different to eating dogs.
