SCIENCE-PALAENTOLOGY
An artists impression released on June 4, 2013 shows Barbatuex Morrisoni 'Morrison's bearded King' named after Jim Morrison, the singer of the Doors whose nickname was the Lizard King. Some 40 million years ago, the king lizard roamed the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and is believed to be one of the biggest known lizards ever to have lived on land. At almost six feet long and weighing upwards of 60 pounds, the lizard provides new and important clues on the evolution of plant-eating reptiles and their relationship to global climate and competition with mammals.
