Placerias, an herbivorous reptile that lived during the Late Triassic period, is one of the most well-known dicynodonts – a group of herbivorous therapsids, or 'mammal-like reptiles'. These creatures were distinctive for their beak-like mouths and tusks, resembling a modern-day walrus, and were among the last and largest of their kind.
Placerias, which could grow up to 3.5 meters in length, roamed in herds and grazed on the lush vegetation of its time. Its fossils, mostly found in North America, provide valuable insights into life just before the rise of the dinosaurs, marking an important chapter in the evolutionary history of mammals.
