'Peculiar' crocodile ancestor started life on four legs before learning to walk on two

A "peculiar" ancient relative of the crocodile which experts believe began life on four legs before, in adulthood, it learned how to walk on just two has been revealed in a new study.

TIL that crocodiles sweat through their mouths. Does that mean they can season their food mid chew?
