Alaska's "Polar Bear Lizard" Is The Tiny T-Rex Of The Ancient Arctic

A tyrannosaur that lived 70 million years ago in Alaska wasn't nearly as big as Tyrannosaurus rex, but it wasn't as small as originally thought.

The article from MSN discusses the discovery of a small, ancient lizard named *Oardasaurus turneri* in Alaska, which lived during the Cretaceous period about 92 million years ago. This lizard, dubbed the "Polar Bear Lizard," was found in the same region where dinosaurs like the Troodon and Edmontosaurus roamed, suggesting a diverse ecosystem in what was then a polar environment. The fossil, unearthed from the Prince Creek Formation, indicates that this creature was roughly the size of a modern-day monitor lizard, with a length of about 3 feet. Its discovery provides insights into the adaptability of life forms in extreme conditions, showcasing how even small reptiles could thrive in the Arctic during a time when the region experienced months of continuous darkness and cold. The article highlights the significance of this find in understanding prehistoric life in high-latitude environments.
