An international team of scientists claims that dinosaurs were able to migrate across oceans. This remarkable claim was based on the discovery of new duckbill dinosaur fossils unearthed in Morocco. Duckbill dinosaurs were a diverse group of herbivores that grew up to 15 meters (49 feet) long. The research could revolutionize our understanding of how dinosaurs populated the planet millions of years ago.

After an examination the researchers established that the “distinctive teeth and jawbones show it belonged to Lambeosaurinae, a subfamily of duckbills with elaborate bony head crests,” according to a press release by the University of Bath, England. These dinosaurs evolved in what is now North America and spread from there to Europe, Asia and Africa.
