Cynognathus — size comparison — facts and sources

Cynognathus was a predatory Triassic cynodont close to mammal origins. Remains associated with the genus have been discovered on both sides of today’s South Atlantic. It used animal food in Gondwanan terrestrial ecosystems.

Differentiated teeth and palate structure matter in studying transitions towards mammalian food processing and breathing. Illustrated fur is an interpretation, not a preserved coat impression from this species.
