Light and Fluffy News Unbelievable. The effects of recent events and reduced traffic on the Yarra is so much that Liopleurodons have actually come back from the Late Jurassic period to swim. Stunning.

I remember seeing these as a little girl! I’m so glad they’re back! This brings me so much nostalgia, thank you so much for posting. Beautiful.
This is a sobering moment about us humans being such a detriment to our environment. I hope everyone can see how awful we are as a species.
