Featured Creature:
Lystrosaurus - this pig-like reptile fossils were first discovered in South Africa in the mid-nineteenth century and then in so many other places in the world it was thought to be proof of the theory of continental drift.
This abundant therapsid (dicynodont) reptile was a herbivore and although only 6.5 feet long it was for a period of a couple of million years the largest animal on Earth.
The fossil records suggest that Lystrosaurus was the most successful of all the dicynodonts and lived 248-245 million years ago.
