This predator lived on open plains during the early to middle [[Triassic]] period, roughly 230-245 million years ago. It was probably warm-blooded, and females may have given birth to live young. Fossils have been found in [[South Africa]] and [[Argentina]] with four other creatures of the time: [[Lystrosaurus]], [[Proterosuchus]], [[Euparkeria]] and [[Erythrosuchus]]. [[category:Theriodonts]]
