She's the mermaid version of a horse girl. Are you seeing my vision here.
I got sad when I saw the article that described the newly discovered Khinjaria acuta fossils as "terrifying, nightmarish and hideously ugly" "freakish-looking" and “may well take first in the ugly contest” so I had to draw someone Appreciating one properly.

Archaeologists uncover remains of 'nightmarish' sea lizard that once ruled the oceans
A “nightmarish” sea lizard with dagger-like gnashers has been uncovered by archaeologists. Khinjaria acuta dominated the world’s oceans 66 million years ago. It co-existed with behemoths such as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. Khinjaria acuta was around eight metres long, similar to an orca, and had powerful jaws with dagger-like teeth. Khinjaria acuta belongs to a family […]

Image credit: Andrey Atuchin.

Una nuova specie di mosasauro scoperta in Marocco aveva denti a incastro simili a quelli di un pugnale
Khinjaria acuta. La Khinjaria acuta faceva parte di una fauna di predatori straordinariamente variegata che abitava l’Oceano Atlantico al largo delle coste del Marocco 66 milioni di anni fa, poco prima dell’estinzione dei dinosauri. L’antico animale era lungo circa 7-8 metri e aveva mascelle potenti e denti lunghi come pugnali. Apparteneva ai Mosasauridae, una famiglia di lucertole marine…

Il Khinjaria acuta
Il nome Khinjaria acuta è un omaggio alla sua natura tagliente e predatrice, derivando dal termine arabo “khinjar” per “pugnale” e dal latino “acuta” per “affilato”, il nome evoca l’immagine di un predatore letale, un vero “pugnale affilato” dei mari antichi

Ученые обнаружили останки доисторической морской ящерицы с демоническим лицом
Ученые обнаружили останки «кошмарного» нового вида морских ящериц с кинжалообразными зубами, которые обитали в океанах 66 миллионов лет назад. Khinjaria acuta могла бы жить рядом с динозаврами, сосуществуя с такими гигантами, как тираннозавр и трицератопс... Читать дальше »

Dinosaur-age sea monster with 'face full of huge, dagger-shaped teeth' discovered
Jennifer Nalewicki for Live Science:
Paleontologists in Morocco have discovered the fossilized remains of a huge, never-before-seen species of marine lizard with "dagger-like" teeth.
The reptile was around 26 feet (8 meters) long — about the same length as an orca — and hunted in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of what is now Africa at the end of the dinosaur age, about 66 million years ago, according to a study published March 1 in the journal Cretaceous Research.
The creature is named Khinjaria acuta, which is derived from khinjar, the Arabic word for "dagger," and acuta, which means "sharp" in Latin. Its formidable jaws would've enabled it to feast on very large prey, including sharks and other marine reptiles.
My face when I'll never have formidable jaws enabling me to feast on very large prey, including sharks and other marine reptiles
