Procynosuchus

Procynosuchus is a meat-eating cynodont from the late Permian, like the fearsome Inostrancevia, large teeth and bear-like. 'Procynosuchus' means 'before dog crocodile' in Latin. This little animal was probably the mini Inostrancevia. It was roughly 60 cm. The bones were found in Germany, Zambia and South Africa. The first were found in South Africa in 1937 by Robert Broom. It is one of the earliest cynodonts, living 255 million years ago.
