                                                A complete skeleton of the biggest reptile that ever existed has been unearthed in Mexico. The fossilised bones have been identified as those of Liopleurodon ferox, a fierce predator that ruled the oceans about 150 million years ago.

The creature, which measures 20 metres (65 ft) from nose to tail, was discovered by German and Mexican palaeontologists.

It has been nicknamed the "Monster of Aramberri" after the site in northeastern Mexico where it was dug up.
