New Fossils Reveal Ankylosaur With Armor Unlike Any Other Animal, Living or Dead

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-31 20:00:05

Ankylosaurs were squat and thick four-legged dinosaurs with club tails and tough body armor. In other words, invincible Pokémon. A new fossil discovery, however, has revealed that the earliest ankylosaurs were several orders of magnitude more badass than their descendants. In a study published today in the journal Nature, researchers describe the partial skeleton of a Spicomellus, a genus of early ankylosaurs, unearthed in Morocco and dating to around 165 million years ago. The finding includes

‘Alien: Earth’ Creator Says Its Eyeball Alien Is The Most Disturbing Thing You’ll See All Year

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-10-31 20:07:00

Hulu’s Alien: Earth series has emerged as one of the most refreshing and inventive entries in the long-running sci-fi series. While xenomorphs clashing with synthetics is familiar territory, the real scene-stealer (aside from Timothy Olyphant) is The Eye—a parasitic, tentacled nightmare that has slithered straight into viewers’ psyches. And creator Noah Hawley apparently knows it: He says the creepy little critter as one of the most messed-up creatures the franchise has unleashed in years. Spea

Nearly three years on from its original announcement, Return to Silent Hill finally has a proper trailer. It’s only 40 seconds long, but in that time we get a healthy supply of foggy and eerily empty street shots, terrifying monsters and a very brief glimpse of the iconic Pyramid Head.
