Barbaturex morrisoni was approximately 1.8 meters (6 feet) from tip to tail and is one of the largest ever discovered. It lived 36-40 million years ago in modern day Myanmar. Its teeth were more suited for plants, and is not thought to have consumed meat. Jim Morrison, frontman for the band The Doors from 1965-1971, wrote a poem eventually turned into a song that contained the line “I am the lizard king/I can do anything." The nickname "Lizard King" stuck with Morrison, and was the inspiration for the name of this incredibly large lizard.
