Euparkeria

==Summary==
Euparkeria is a form of Eucrocopod archosauriform reptile, distantly related to but not a direct ancestor of archosaurs (the group that includes crocodiles, dinosaurs, and pterosaurs). It was once thought to be capable of bipedal locomotion as a facultative biped, but later studies showed it was not possible for the creature to stand quadrupedally.Demuth, Oliver E.; Wiseman, Ashleigh L. A.; Hutchinson, John R. (2023-01-25). "Quantitative biomechanical assessment of locomotor capabilities of the stem archosaur Euparkeria capensis". Royal Society Open Science. 10 (1): 221195. Bibcode:2023RSOS...1021195D. doi:10.1098/rsos.221195. PMC 9874271. PMID 36704253. Its semi-erect gate does, however, provide insight into the evolution of a fully upright, erect gate in archosaurs, with later adaptations in bones around the hip arising in them.Demuth, Oliver E.; Rayfield, Emily J.; Hutchinson, John R. (2020-09-21). "3D hindlimb joint mobility of the stem-archosaur Euparkeria capensis with implications for postural evolution within Archosauria". Scientific Reports. 10 (1): 15357. Bibcode:2020NatSR..1015357D. doi:10.1038/s41598-020-70175-y. ISSN 2045-2322. PMC 7506000. PMID 32958770. It lived in present-day South Africa during the early to mid Triassic throughout the late Olenekian and early Anisian ages.
