    Evolution der Vierbeiner: Forscher lassen 300 Millionen Jahre altes Fossil mithilfe Robotertechnik laufen / 160119 *** A giant lizard that walked the Earth around 300 million years ago has been recreated by scientists - using Hollywood style techniques.

    The weird looking plant-eater was among the first animals to make its home on land, long before the dinosaurs.

    Now it has been digitalised, animated and converted into a life-sized model called OroBOT.

    The first study of its kind could lead to dinosaurs and Ice Age beasts including the woolly mammoth being brought back to life in a similar way.

    Like humans Orobates pabsti is a tetrapod, sharing the same common ancestor as lizards, snakes, tortoises, crocodiles, birds and mammals.

    The five foot long animal weighed about nine pounds. It had a long body and tail with short legs and a small skull. It has also been likened to a crocodile.

    Corresponding author Dr John Nyakatura, a biomechanical engineer, said: "Being almost 300 million years old the extinct Orobates is a key candidate for understanding how land vertebrates evolved.

    "It represents the lineage leading to modern amniotes, animals that became independent from water and then developed within eggs on land."

    Orobates links amphibians on one hand with reptiles and mammals on the other, he said.

    His international team used animation techniques similar to those used to create the trolls and orcs in The Lord of the Rings films - and the dragons in Game of Thrones.

    The difference is Orobates really lived and its robotic version indicates prehistoric tetrapods learnt to walk more efficiently earlier than previously thought.

    It suggests the development locomotion on land preceded the evolution and diversification of reptiles, birds and mammals.

    The study published in Nature scanned an exquisitely preserved fossil of Orobates in 3-d to produce a digitlaised model of its skeleton.

    "It represents the lineage leading to modern amniotes, animals that became independent from water and then developed within eggs on land."

    Orobates links amphibians on one hand with reptiles and mammals on the other, he said.

    His international team used animation techniques similar to those used to create the trolls and orcs in The Lord of the Rings films - and the dragons in Game of Thrones.

    The difference is Orobates really lived and its robotic version indicates prehistoric tetrapods learnt to walk more efficiently earlier than previously thought.

    It suggests the development locomotion on land preceded the evolution and diversification of reptiles, birds and mammals.

    The study published in Nature scanned an exquisitely preserved fossil of Orobates in 3-d to produce a digitlaised model of its skeleton.

    Evolution der Vierbeiner: Forscher lassen 300 Millionen Jahre altes Fossil mithilfe Robotertechnik laufen / 160119 *** A giant lizard that walked the Earth around 300 million years ago has been recreated by scientists - using Hollywood style techniques.

    The weird looking plant-eater was among the first animals to make its home on land, long before the dinosaurs.

    Now it has been digitalised, animated and converted into a life-sized model called OroBOT.

    The first study of its kind could lead to dinosaurs and Ice Age beasts including the woolly mammoth being brought back to life in a similar way.

    Like humans Orobates pabsti is a tetrapod, sharing the same common ancestor as lizards, snakes, tortoises, crocodiles, birds and mammals.

    The five foot long animal weighed about nine pounds. It had a long body and tail with short legs and a small skull. It has also been likened to a crocodile.

    Corresponding author Dr John Nyakatura, a biomechanical engineer, said: "Being almost 300 million years old the extinct Orobates is a key candidate for understanding how land vertebrates evolved.
