Dicynodont maintained a massive global range across the ancient supercontinent of Pangaea. Paleontologists have excavated their fossils across South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Brazil, Scotland, and Antarctica.

The Dicynodont lived during the Late Permian Period. It walked the earth between 255 and 258 million years ago. They died out right around the devastating end-Permian mass extinction. Shifting global climates dried up the wet floodplains and replaced their habitats with deserts.

They only ate plants. It fed primarily on tough, low-growing plants like ferns and horsetails. The animal used a heavy, turtle-like horny beak to slice through stems. It also used powerful front legs to dig up roots and hidden bulbs.

It was a medium-sized, stocky creature. Adults grew to an average total length of roughly four feet. It moved with a low posture on four short legs and had a large head with two tusks.

Dicky, the Dicynodon skeleton replica, packs his favorite root snacks into a backpack for a sunny morning hike through the park. He strolls down the trail and meets up with his best friends for a fun day.

Gordon, the Gorgonospid skull replica, runs ahead of the group, flashing his giant saber teeth in a big, goofy smile. He spots a pile of leaves and playfully jumps right into the middle of it.

Tencents, the Dimetrodon limbatus skull replica, spreads his massive back sail wide to catch the warm morning sun. He leads the way down path, showing off his bright red and orange colors to everyone they pass.

Penny, the Parasaurolophus skull plaque replica, follows closely behind, humming a cheerful little tune. She uses her loud, trumpet-like voice to echo a happy greeting across the valley.
