High inside the Arctic Circle‚ in one of the most unforgiving environment on the planet‚ two teams of paleontologists investigated a 70 million year old mystery. The paleontologist have unearthed dozens of dinosaurs‚ their bones complied together‚ fossilized‚ and preserved in permafrost for eons. The startling discovery of ancient reptiles‚ also known as the “thunder lizards‚” had taken scientists by surprise because it lived and thrived in the arctic. This discovery raises questions as to how
