This month my patrons picked an animal that I found extremely fascinating! A mysterious carnivore whose remains were first found near a small village in Poland in 2007. An animal from the Triassic period that has had scientists puzzled ever since it was first uncovered.

it was given the name Smok wawelski after a dragon of polish folklore, but the real animal is every bit as intriguing as the legend. It may have been one of the earliest large carnivorous dinosaurs... Or it could be a strangely dinosaur like land croc... This is a topic that is still under debate.
