Is this supposed to be a joke suspsy??

I click on the link and what I get is an article about a adult film actress supposedly faking a shark attack to herself.

Did you get the wrong link?

Or is it some kind of extremely late April fools joke?

Megalosaurus

Ja, ja, ja.

Sorry about that, folks! That was another article I happened to be sharing around the same time. I thought I'd copied and pasted the proper link; obviously, I wrong. It's been fixed now. :)

Very cool discovery!  I never would have thought the earliest baleen whales still had small hindlimbs.
