1

Kaikaifilu had different types of teeth in its mouth, which is rare for mosasaurs. This is called heterodont dentition.1

2

Its skull was about 1.1 to 1.2 metres long, almost twice as long as the skull of another Antarctic mosasaur called Taniwhasaurus antarcticus.1

3

Kaikaifilu lived in waters that could be as cold as 6 °C, and sometimes the sea surface temperature dropped below freezing.1

4

It lived right at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, and was one of the last mosasaurs to exist.1

5

The only known fossil of Kaikaifilu is a partial skull and a humerus (upper arm bone), found in 2011 by a Chilean expedition.2

6

Scientists think Kaikaifilu might belong to the Tylosaurinae group, but some features make this uncertain.1
