THE CREATURE IN THE NILE MOSAIC OF PALESTRINA
_______________
The Mosaic was originally in Palestrina, Italy as part of an ancient floor mosaic. It dates to 100 B.C. and it depicts life in Ptolemaic Egypt during the flooding of the Nile River. Along the landscape there can be seen a variety of animals that were common to the Nile at that time and their corresponding Greek name. There is one animal that is curiously strange in its appearance and name. The label is translated from the Greek as “crocodile leopard” and it is located on the right middle portion of the mosaic. It does not resemble any known animal living in the region at that time and as the name suggests it is an animal that resembles a crocodile but with distinctive features setting it apart. This remains a fascinating possible crypid animal captured within the mosaics tiles that has strong resemblance to the Eotitanosuchus dinosaur.
