In the Cruzeiro de Oyste region of southern Brazil, scientists have discovered hundreds of bones dating back to a new type of giant reptile, according to the German website Spiegel Online. The new species is believed to belong to the category of pterosaurs and tyrososaurs. Tyrososaurs are the oldest known vertebrates able to fly and lived in the time of dinosaurs more than 170 million years ago and extinct with them at the end of the Cretaceous era, more than 65 million years ago, and discovered more than 100 different species to date. These reptiles feed on fish and animals. The first types of tyrososaurs were discovered in 1971 and had two giant wings of more than 12 meters each, while other small species were discovered in the size of the bathroom, while the wing of the smallest species was about 65 centimeters

The new type was named Kayugara Dubruski and was discovered by Brazilian scientist Paolo Manzig and his team from the Université de Contistado. The size of this species is due to the medium type and the most characteristic is the presence of a bone comb above the head of the tyrosaurus. This bone comb grows and grows with the growth of the giant crawler and becomes large with adult animals. The wings of the tyrosaurus also grow very quickly, so the animal can fly when he is young.
Brazilian professor Paolo Manzig and his team believe that the new species was living collectively in the southern desert oases of Brazil. After her death, a giant lake in the region washed away the remains of reptiles and then its remains were covered with soil and stones over millions of years. As for the cause of the extinction of these reptiles, the scientists from the University of Du Contistado have not yet found any explanation for this, according to the German Web site Spiegel Online
