1

Alwalkeria was first named Walkeria in 1987, but that name was already used for a tiny sea animal, so it was changed to Alwalkeria in 1994.1

2

The only known fossil of Alwalkeria is a jumble of bones from different animals, including a skull that may belong to a crocodile relative and leg bones that might be from a dinosaur.1

3

Alwalkeria lived about 235 to 228 million years ago, during the Carnian stage of the Triassic period.1

4

The leg bone of Alwalkeria looks a bit like those of early dinosaurs, but some scientists think it might belong to a different group of reptiles called pseudosuchians.1

5

Alwalkeria is named after British paleontologist Alick Walker, who studied ancient reptiles.1

6

Because the fossils are so mixed up, scientists are not sure what Alwalkeria ate or how big it was.1
