An ancient reptile with massive hands and long, sword-like claws has been unearthed in southern Brazil. Its "hands and claws, which look a bit like those of Edward Scissorhands, may have been used to catch prey or climb trees," Rodrigo Müller, a paleontologist at the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil, told Live Science.
Müller and his team discovered the reptile’s remains in a rice farm in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.
