Paleontologists in Australia found a new species of crocodile that may have eaten a dinosaur around 95 million years ago as its last meal, marking a historic world's first discovery.
A leading paleontologist says high-tech analysis of fossils, which tell how long life existed on Earth, could also help humans deal with global problems.
Before the year ends, let's take a look back to the dinosaur discoveries in 2021 that added to the body of knowledge about these prehistoric creatures that lived millions of years ago before humans.
