Thanks for drawing this awesome animal. There is never too much therapsid art. It looks quite funny in your image.

~Albertonykus Mar 28, 2013

No problem. Despite being a dinosaur person, I find that the diversity of Mesozoic mammaliaforms is often underappreciated.

~Hybodus Mar 28, 2013

You are right about their popularity.

Therapsids have become one of my favourite animal groups recently as I learned more about their history, I have always liked mammals, particularly cetaceans, but I am more interested in therapsids (and other synapsids) as whole group today as I was before. I also like arthropods. Maniraptoran dinosaurs are also among my favourites.

I remember in high school, being assigned to draw and describe a hypothetical aquatic rodent that descended from rat shipwreck survivors. Two years later, they found this critter XD
