Kannemeyeria dicynodonts. Computer artwork of Kannemeyeria sp. dicynodonts grazing on ferns, 240 millions years ago, during the Triassic period. The trees on the right are Glossopteridales while those on the left are Ginkgos. Kannemeyeria were about the size of a modern ox with tusks and a beak for grazing on tough vegetation, and were one of the first large herbivores of the Triassic era. They weren t dinosaurs, rather they are classified as mammal-like reptiles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible world of Kannemeyeria dicynodonts, providing a glimpse into their existence 240 million years ago during the Triassic period. The computer artwork beautifully depicts these mammal-like reptiles grazing on ferns in a lush forest landscape. On the right side, towering Glossopteridales trees stand tall, while elegant Ginkgos grace the left. Kannemeyeria dicynodonts were remarkable creatures, comparable in size to modern-day oxen. Equipped with tusks and a beak specialized for consuming tough vegetation, they were among the earliest large herbivores of their time. It is important to note that although often mistaken as dinosaurs due to their prehistoric nature, these magnificent beings are classified as mammal-like reptiles. The image transports us back in time and offers insight into both biological and botanical aspects of this ancient ecosystem. The presence of various animal and plant species creates an enchanting scene where wildlife thrived amidst abundant flora. This illustration serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying paleontology or those simply fascinated by Earth's history. Walter Myers has expertly captured this moment from our planet's past through his intricate artwork. His attention to detail brings life to long-extinct creatures like Kannemeyeria dicynodonts, reminding us of the diverse range of organisms that once roamed our world millions of years ago.
