Telmatobius culeus, commonly known as the Titicaca water frog or Lake Titicaca frog, [1] is a medium-large to very large and endangered species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. [3] It is entirely aquatic and found only in the Lake Titicaca basin, including rivers that flow into it and smaller connected lakes like Arapa , Lagunillas and ...
The post Scientists just discovered a massive sea predator from the Triassic period appeared first on BGR. According to a new study, scientists believe the largest animals to ever live, lived in ...
Each species of Orestias has varying size. The Titicaca orestias was the largest species in the genus. [4] The maximum recorded size is 22 cm (8.7 in) in standard length and 27 cm (10.6 in) in total length, which is considerably larger than most other species; only O. pentlandii at up to 20 cm (7.9 in) and 23.5 cm (9.3 in), respectively, comes close.
The Lake Titicaca drilling project [43] recovered a 136-m-long drill core of sediments from the bottom of Lake Titicaca at a depth of 235 m (771 ft) and at a location just east of Isla del Sol. This core contains a continuous record of lake sedimentation and paleoenvironmental conditions for Lake Titicaca back to about 370,000 BP.

The 55 ft (16.76 m) "Thimble Tickle specimen" reported by Verrill (1880a:191) is often cited as the largest giant squid ever recorded, [nb 10] and the 55 ft 2 in (16.81 m) (or 57 ft [17.37 m]) specimen described by Kirk (1888) as Architeuthis longimanus —a strangely proportioned animal that has been much commented on—is sometimes cited as ...
“They are the only group of birds that achieved the role of terrestrial apex predators, evolving species that basically conquered South America during the Miocene (about 23.03 million to 5.33 ...
The specimen is actually a very large plesiosaur, possibly reaching 15 m (49 ft) in length. The media published exaggerated reports claiming it was 25 metres (82 ft) long, and weighed up to 150,000 kilograms (330,000 lb), which would have made it among the largest predators of all time. [38] [39]
