Scientists Discover 45-Million-Year-Old Crocodile With a Strange Connection to Egypt’s Great Sphinx

The discovery of a 45-million-year-old crocodile species in Egypt, with a unique connection to the Great Sphinx, has sparked scientific interest. The crocodile, named 'Sphingonuchis', was identified through a re-examination of fossils initially grouped with a living species. Its distinctive features, including a missing snout tip, suggest it may have inspired the Sphinx's design.
