WASHINGTON: Scientists have discovered a 48-million-year-old fossil of a ‘Jesus lizard’, known for its ability to walk on water, in the US State of Wyoming.
Modern relatives of the Jesus lizard live in an area stretching from central Mexico to northern Colombia, flourishing in the higher temperatures found at the equator. The 48-million-year-old fossil is the first description of a new species, Babibasiliscus alxi, and may represent the earliest clear member of the Jesus lizard group, Corytophanidae, experts said. This group, which includes iguanas and chameleons, remains poorly understood, due to the small number of fossils available for study.
