Meet the Real-Life Goblin Prince Lizard

A giant, Gila monster-like lizard named Bolg amondol (aka the 'Goblin Prince') once slithered under the feet of dinosaurs! Discovered in Utah, this ancient beast was way bigger than today’s lizards—think Savannah monitor size. Its closest relative? From Asia’s Gobi Desert! Turns out, dinos weren’t the only globe-trotters back then. Paleontologists are geeking out over how this find fills in the lizard family tree.
