Still Waters Posted December 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Researchers say the giant extinction event that saw the end of the dinosaurs also killed off most snakes and lizards - among them a newly discovered species named after US President Barack Obama. The effect of the event on dinosaurs is well known, but the fates of smaller creatures have been less certain. Now, a rich record of reptile fossils - including the new Obamadon gracilis - suggests 83% of snake and lizard species became extinct at that time. http://www.bbc.co.uk...onment-20639213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
