Researchers revealed on Thursday that a new species of crocodile was discovered from a fossil in Thailand. In a study published in the journal of the Geological Society of London, the scientists say the 100-million-year-old croc had longer legs than modern-day crocodiles, fed on fish, and could run very fast.

    Creationists immediately announced that in fact, it is only 10,000 years old and fell off the Ark, thereby explaining its extinction
