 Fossil Crocodile From Brazil May Be

 

 In Brazil a new fossil was found and named Montealtosuchus arrudacamposi. The skull is reported to be similar to a crocodile but the body had longer legs. "We have very little evidence of terrestrial crocodiles, so the example from Brazil could form a missing link of a whole evolutionary diversity," Ryan said.

Lets take a few steps back and look at what we have.
Does it have a crocodile head? Yes?
Does it have crocodile legs? Yes?
Does it have a crocodile tail? Yes?
Does that prove we all evolved from slime? No.

While it may be possible that this animal was a relative to crocodiles and alligators, they would all still be the same kind of animal. This would not show anything to prove that evolution happened.
