In China, scientists have discovered the petrified remains of a unique scorpion that lived 125 million years ago. This species has never been encountered before, and researchers have named it "Jeholbia longchengi." This was reported by zamon.uz here.
The discovered scorpion stands out due to its unusually large size. Its length is 10 centimeters, making it significantly larger than other scorpions that lived during that time. For comparison, most scorpions from that era were at least twice as small.
Researchers consider this find important for understanding ancient ecosystems and investigating the evolution of scorpions. This discovery not only provides new information about the historical development of scorpions but can also reveal interesting secrets about the animal world of our planet's distant past.
