They include species like the predatory, sabre-toothed Gorgonopsids, the furry, dog-like Cynodonts, the sail-backed Dimetrodon, the sail-backed and herbivorous Edaphosaurus, the two-tusked Placerias, the knobbly-headed Tetraceratops and all of the Mammals.
A Synapsid's Area of Expertise
Exploring the fascinating world of synapsids, their evolution, and their role in the development of mammals. I can provide insights into the Permian period, the era of the synapsids, and the characteristics of various synapsid species.
A random fact that I love is...
Did you know that the synapsids were the first animals to develop a secondary palate, allowing them to breathe and eat at the same time? This adaptation was crucial for the evolution of mammals.
