Everything about Procynosuchus totally explained
Procynosuchus (Greek: "Before dog crocodile") was a
cynodont, a group that was ancestral to
mammals.
Procynosuchus, specifically, belonged to a group of
cynodonts called
Procynosuchidae, one of the earliest cynodonts. It lived in the Late
Permian world.
Procynosuchus was unusual in that it was semi-aquatic, like
seals or
crocodiles of today, whereas most
cynodonts, such as
Cynognathus, were terrestrial.
Procynosuchus swam by wiggling the front and rear ends of its stiff spine, just like a crocodile, and paddled with its webbed,
otter-like hands and feet.
Procynosuchus was probably a piscivore, or fish eater. It was 60 cm long (2 feet).
