PIX4661707: Cotylorhynchus - Cotylorhynchus was a large mammalian reptile (Synapside, Pelycosaur) living herbivorous from early Permian to mid-Permian (299 to 265 million years). They were the largest terrestrial animals of their time, measuring 6 metres long and weighing two tons. Giant, 20-foot-long and one-ton synapsids of the genus Cotylorhynchus forage in an Early Permian swamp 275 million years ago in what is today North America. Also in this image on the lower left is a 3-foot long lepospondyl amphibian of the genus Diplocaulus. Vegetation includes ferns and horsetails in the foreground and on the horizon is a forest of ginkgos. Cotylorhynchus is the largest known non-mammalian synapsid and was the largest land animal of its time. An herbivore, Cotylorhynchus had a massive barrel-shaped body and limbs with a relatively small head, making it perhaps one of the most unattractive land animals to have ever walked the Earth. Standing about 6 feet tall at the shoulder Cotylorhynchus probably had no predators; even the fierce Dimetrodon (also a synapsid) weighed little more than 300 pounds compared to Cotylorhynchus' 2,000 / Bridgeman Images
PIX4661798: Postosuchus - Postosuchus was a 5-metre-long, 4-ton Triassic predator living in North America. He is a close relative of the crocodiles we know today. A 12-foot-long, 1,000 pound rauisuchian archosaur of the genus Postosuchus wanders a hilltop 220 million years ago in what is today Texas. Surrounding the Postosuchus are various cycads, ferns, and tree-like Glossopteridales. With a crocodile-like body and tyrannosaurlike head, Postosuchus was likely a fierce apex predator that preyed upon Dicynodonts and other animals smaller than itself, including some of the first dinosaurs / Bridgeman Images

PIX4661948: Nothosaurus - A nothosaurus mirabilis tries to catch a fish (saurichthys). The genus Nothosaurus, meaning mixed lezard, belongs to the family Nothosaurides (Sauropterygia), who lived in the Triassic from -240 to -210 million years. The amphibious Triassic reptile Nothosaurus mirabilis gathers itself to launch after the fish Saurichthys on a shore of what is now Germany. Nothosaurus mirabilis is an extinct genus of sauropterygian reptile from the Triassic period, approximately 240-210 million years ago, with fossils being distributed from North Africa and Europe to China. It is the best known member of the nothosaur order. Its name means False lizard / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662112: Dorygnathus - Dorygnathus at altitude - Flight of dorygnathus over a forest at the beginning of the Jurassic 180 million years ago. This pterosaur had a wingspan of about 1 metre. Like all pterosaurs, dorygnathus is a flying reptile, not a dinosaur. A flock of Dorygnathus soars high over a rugged, Early Jurassic European landscape of Wollemi Pine approximately 180 million years ago. Dorygnathus had a wing span of about 3 feet and its large, curved fangs suggests that it dined primarily on fish. Like all pterosaurs, Dorygnathus was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur (the flying descendents of the dinosaurs live on today as birds) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662151: Dimorphodon on the beach - Dimorphodons on the edge of the ancient ocean Tethys. Dimorphodon (Dimorphodon macronyx) is a pterosaur belonging to the family dimorphodontidae and living in the lower Jurassic, between 200 and 180 million years. He had a beak like a puffin. The dimorphodon was about 1 metre long, with a wingspan of 1.4 metres. Winged Dimorphodon pluck fish from the Early-Jurassic Tethys Ocean 195 million years ago in what it is today England. While Dimorphodon's coloration is unknown, here the adult males have been given colorful heads inspired by modern day puffins and toucans. Dimorphodon was a medium-sized pterosaur (flying reptile) with a wingspan of about four feet and a large head and puffin-like “” beak.”” Its long front teeth suggest that it was built for plucking fish from near the surface of the water. Dimorphodon also had a long tail, the end of which is speculated to have sported a soft tissue vane for enhanced stability during flight / Bridgeman Images

PIX4662195: Ceratosaurus - Ceratosaurus nasicornis is a carnivorous dinosaur that lived in Utah and Colorado during the Upper Jurassic. A medium-sized theropod from Colorado, USA, Ceratosaurus nasicornis had not only extravagant horns over its snout and brows, but also some of the longest teeth for a dinosaur, relative to its size / Bridgeman Images
PIX4662250: Diplodocus et pterodactyles - Diplodocus and pterodactyls - Diplodocus (Diplodocus longus) is a herbivorous dinosaur living in North America around the end of Jurassic about 150 million years ago.

Vegetarian Diplodocus leisurely graze while several pterodactyls pass overhead 150 million years ago in what is today North America. 115 feet long and weighing over 10 tons, from the tip of tail to its diminutive head Diplodocus is the longest known dinosaur / Bridgeman Images
