Scientists discover new species of crocodile that ran like a dog

Scientists have discovered a new species of crocodile from the Triassic period, about 215 million years ago. The crocodile is believed to have been a fast-moving, land-dwelling predator resembling a 'reptilian greyhound'. Named Galahadosuchus jonesi, this animal lived entirely on land and had a body built for speed with long, slender legs and a lightweight frame, researchers found.
