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.
