The early Triassic (approx. 230 mya) herbivore Kannemeyeria was the size of an ox.4 Another, earlier herbivore, Moschops of the late Permian (approx. 260 mya), was even bigger — 16 feet long.5 Contemporary with Moschops were smaller, doglike,
carnivorous synapsids (Lycaenops) with long canine teeth and running legs.
