Скачать или смотреть Archelon: The Largest Sea Turtle to Ever Live

Archelon ischyros was the largest turtle to ever live, dominating the prehistoric oceans during the Late Cretaceous period. In this video, we explore the size, anatomy, skull structure, and unique adaptations that made Archelon unlike any modern turtle alive today. From its reduced leathery shell and massive flippers to its powerful skull built for open-ocean hunting, Archelon was perfectly evolved for life in the warm Western Interior Seaway.

Learn how Archelon lived alongside mosasaurs and giant sharks, what it ate, how it moved through the water, and why this ancient giant disappeared during the mass extinction that ended the age of dinosaurs.

If you’re fascinated by prehistoric life, marine reptiles, and extinct giants, this is one turtle you won’t want to miss.
