We all know Thailand for its beautiful beaches, spicy and delicious food, and modern, cosmopolitan capital, but the land now home to more than 70 million people was once inhabited by hundreds, if not thousands, of ancient creatures that we’re only used to seeing in history books.
Because of this, it’s hardly surprising that the country is home to archaeologists and paleontologists hoping to unearth the mysteries buried beneath our very feet. However, due to funding (or, better yet, the lack thereof), it isn’t always possible to fully investigate what could be life-changing discoveries. Still, a group of scientists finally managed to uncover the true identity of the mysteriously large bones first discovered in 2009.
