 Eternally disappointed that these went extinct and useless garbage Lystrosaurus survived the Great Dying



Just look at this stupid pig-lizard.

The hosed up part was there was a period in the Early Triassic, right after the Permian Extinction, where everyone that hunted or competed with these things were dead, so their population exploded. There was a period where 19 out of every 20 land vertebrates was a Lystrosaurus. Imagine taking a walk outside and 95% of all the animals you saw were like, corgies or whatever.

Or the fellas. Or both, really. There's nothing wrong with being a bi-metrodon

Not to detract from Dimetrodon, but this reminded me of a creature whom I cannot recall now.

It, at one point, was 9/10 land dwelling animals on the entire surface of the earth and was like the most innocuous thing and just littered the entire planet due to its general efficiency.
Like if you crawled from the ocean or landed from a UFO, these things were all you were getting. And I CANNOT remember the name of the drat things.

After learning about them and facts like that I kinda thought it was weird they don't teach that since that's a pretty impressive stat

Lystrosaurus. And really it's not THAT impressive, they mostly just got lucky that the Permian extinction killed everything that ate them. Sometimes it pays to slip under God's radar I guess
