London: Polish paleontologists have named a 150-million-year-old marine fossil after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A well-preserved and complete fossil of the strange creature was discovered in Ethiopia, Africa.

Experts say the fossil belongs to a special type of creature with a special type of feather, 10 long arms and sharp tentacle-like claws that could hold it under the sea. Paleontologists said the fossil was given Zelensky’s name as a mark of respect for his extraordinary bravery and courage in defending Ukraine from Russian invasion. The fossil was given the name ‘Osychicrinites zelenskii’.

Prof. Katowice University of Silesia, Poland, said that this is an exceptionally well-preserved fossil. Marius Salaman says.
