Description
Scutosaurus karpinskii
Temporal range: Permian, Lopingian, Changhsingian, ~254-252 Ma
Length: ~3 metres
Probable Mass: Around ~600-1000 kilograms?
Etymology: Shield reptile
Scutosaurus karpinskii is a species of pareiasaur that lived in what is now Russia during the last stages of the Palaeozoic Era. At the time it lived, Russia was probably an arid, desert-like region, in stark contrast to the tundra most of it is now.
Scutosaurus was short in length, but was quite massive. This made it unlikely for it to be a fast creature, and would have relied on its extreme bulk and armour against predators.

He's so fat! Love it when someone makes something that isn't shrink-wrapped.
