New Mosasaur Species Found in France Lived in Freshwater

Fossils in southeastern France reveal a new mosasaur species, ~2.5m, with eel-like swimming and limbs, indicating a freshwater habitat. This challenges assumptions about mosasaur ecology, suggesting adaptation to non-marine environments. The discovery is based on fossil evidence, but the exact behavior and habitat are inferred.
