The earliest animal to walk on land was Pererpes finneyae, which lived around 350 million years ago. This tetrapod was discovered in 1971 north of Dumbarton, UK. The identification of the legs and one complete foot was announced on 4 July 2002. The identification was made by Jenny Clack (UK), from the University Museum of zoology, University of Cambridge, UK.
