Somewhat recently I drew Bemalambda nansiungensis, an early pantodont from Asia that is among the basalmost pants, even if it is slightly younger than smaller, older pants like Alcidedorbignya. Shows evidence of sexual dimorphism and was probably a competent digger!

Alcidedorbignya was much smaller than most other pants, with a body length of only around 25 cm and a weight of 580 g, about the same size as a squirrel. This is a far cry from later pants, with behemoths like Coryphodon reaching 2.5 meters long and 500 kg in weight! 3/13
