Many types of animals are found in the world. Many more are still hidden than those that are in front of our eyes. Scientists keep discovering many new species every day. But many times, along with new species, such species also come to the fore, which are now extinct. Recently, the remains of such a fish have been found, which is being called Alien Fish. Alien means from another planet. Now you must be thinking that why this fish got such a name? Actually, the look of this fish is such that it was never seen on this earth till date.
Scientists have found the remains of this alien fish in a lake in America. It has been named Dunkleosteus. According to the research of scientists so far, this fish used to live on earth about 360 million years ago. It is being called the largest fish species ever. According to scientists, it was the largest of any fish found on earth. Millions of years ago the sea was full of them. But it disappeared with time.
evidence found here
Evidence of this fish has been found in the new study. Evidence of this has been found in the five Great Lakes of North America, which are on the border of America and Canada. Earlier it was said that Dunkleosteus is thirty feet long. But after getting the evidence, this thing turned out to be wrong. His height turned out to be 13 feet. Russell Ingelman, a doctoral student at Case Western University, told that many things about this fish were wrong. It is not the monster it was described as. Although, it is different from most of the fish found on earth but it is not like any monster.
Remains found on the US-Canada border
helmet on head
Dunkleosteus looked different from the fish found on earth. Its jaws were huge. At the same time, it was so strong that it could make powder of anything that came between its teeth, apart from this, there was a helmet structure on its forehead. It was used as a shield. Because of this helmet-like structure, its fossil has been found after so many crores of years. Also one more thing separates it from other fish. That is its body formation. Like other fish, it was made of bones and cartilages. It is being told that this sea monster disappeared about 419 million years ago when it could not find prey according to its stomach. Now experts are looking for more details.
