Scientists have discovered in Africa the remains of a dinosaur, which is thought to be the oldest in Africa and lived nearly 230 million years ago. 'Mbirosaurus raathi' is thought to have been a meter long, ran on two legs, had a long neck and saw-like teeth.

According to scientists, the dinosaur was a species of sauropodomorph, a relative of the sauropod, which walked on four legs.

This skeleton was discovered during two expeditions carried out in 2017 and 2019 in the Zimbabwe Valley.

"If we talk about the evolution of dinosaurs, fossils from the Triassic era, which ended more than 200 million years ago, are rare and have been discovered in South America, India and now in Zimbabwe," said Darlington Munyikwa, deputy director of the National Monuments Museums of Zimbabwe.

This discovery is expected to shed more light on the evolution and early migration of dinosaurs at a time when the world was all one continent and Zimbabwe was at the same latitude as other countries.

According to the BBC, Zimbabwe has been aware of fossils in the area for decades and many expeditions are still to be carried out, but this depends on the funds that will be made available to the explorers.

From the discoveries made, it follows that dinosaurs did not start to rule the whole world from the beginning.

"They and other animals that lived in that period seem to have lived in a special environment in the far south, which today coincides with South America, southern Africa and India," said Christopher Griffin, one of the scientists of included in the expedition, adding that the remains found undoubtedly belong to the largest dinosaur found in Africa.
