Gaviiform Crocs Revisited in Egypt
A research team from Mansoura University has revealed a new species of Gavial crocodile called "Hirogavialis kairensis," following a re-examination of an Egyptian fossil found in Mount Mokattam in 1927 using modern scientific techniques. The study showed that this discovery reflects a new diversity and evolutionary history of these creatures from approximately 45 million years ago. It also contributes to deepening scientific understanding of ancient life in Egypt and the Mediterranean region. This achievement underscores the capability of Egyptian researchers to participate in international scientific research using advanced tools and supports scientific research efforts in Egypt in collaboration with global institutions.
