Does the fact that Suicune used to be a dinosaur-like creature imply that mammals in the Pokémon world are highly-derived diapsids? Or at the very least that dinosaurs split off before synapsids did? https://t.co/KlnDur2TTF

Did a little experiment on Death.
What if he's a gorgonopsid instead?

Well, Cuz wolf and gorgonopsid are both synapsids anyway...

Synapsids of Jurassic Park

It was great to see them finally introduced to the franchise, albeit very late - even if the Smilodon was done terribly dirty. Personally, I think they should've been there since the original. They should've never limited themselves to just dinosaurs.

Paleo Fact!

Secodontosaurus (Cutting-Tooth Lizard) is a synapsid from Early Permian North America! Similar to its famous relative, Dimetrodon, it had a large dorsal sail! But unlike Dimetrodon, and most other synapsids, it had proportionally - (1/2)

A trio of large synapsids, the Jonkeria truculenta, approach the river to drink some water. The amphibian Rhinesuhus whaitsi seems to be bothered by these thirsty dinocephalians, and opens its mouth wide to scare them.

So Beyond the Gates has showed some of the ILM CGI models of some of the Dinosaurs and Synapsids in

Newest of murrayi. These squat little were the most abundant land vertebrates in their communities.

Quick studies of the large gorgonopsian Rubidgea for a possible commission. Meet your toothy distant relative. Synapsids have been doing this saber-toothed thing for a very long time

Not a dinosaur? It must have been a great surprise to find the skull of an ancient animal with very big teeth in PEI back in 1845! Sphenacodontids are non-mammalian synapsids, large terrestrial vertebrates that lived before the dinosaurs during the Permian Period.

Yeah, I'm a fan of sausage dogs. What can I say. Skeletal by the wonderful Scott Hartman was a very useful reference for this, I've never drawn synapsids before.

Reminds me of that one bully dinosaur from the land before time sequel lol or one of those uncanny valley transitional synapsids

Little Ianthasaurus was one of the earliest Synapsids; a diminutive member of the Edaphosauridae, from the Late Carboniferous. Unlike its larger later cousins, Ianthasaurus was more lightly built, and had pointed, peg-like teeth that were better adapted for feeding on arthropods.

Just wanted to show these cuties I designed for a world I am building based on a dunkleosteus, a dilophosaurus, a velociraptor and a desmatosuchus :D
The dunkleosteus-like is an amphibian but the others are mammal-like reptiles like synapsids

Some synapsids I did for a good measure

Synapsids. Quick drawings in different style from me, just for fun. Merry Christmas 😊

Ya'll I hope the Dimetrodon makes it in JWD! It's one of the most known Synapsids comparing to Lystrosaurus! I wonder if there will be a fight between Lystrosaurus and Dimetrodon, how amazing would that be? I really do hope it isn't as rushed as the last one did.

More stuff! Gorynychus, Proburnetia, Secodontosaurus and Estemmenosuchus.
