A hefty, 10-foot-long (3 meters) crocodile relative had an odd way of getting around 120 million years ago , in what is now South Korea. The huge beast walked on its two hind legs like a T. rex, researchers said after analyzing footprints left behind by the reptile.
There are no known fossilized bones of this strange crocodile, but dozens of its up to 120 million year-old footprints, including one with skin impressions, are preserved in stone.
"For the first time, we have proof that some of the giant crocodiles of the Cretaceous were bipedal and really designed like the carnivorous dinosaurs," study co-researcher Martin Lockley, professor emeritus of geology at the University of Colorado Denver, told Live Science.
Evolutionists are scary of almost every creature they find. Of today’s creatures, the duck-billed platypus , the spiny anteater and the aardvark are huge puzzles for Darwinians.
