- ...that although no fossils of the extinct Malagasy hippopotamus have been dated within the last 1,000 years, villagers in Madagascar described a similar creature still alive as recently as 1976?

- ...that Aliwalia is the earliest known carnivorous dinosaur, and was huge for its time?
- ...that the only surviving fossils of Aegyptosaurus were destroyed in a 1944 bombing raid on Munich, Germany, during World War II?
