Hello Elektra! Thanks, I know about that one. It's a dicynodont, the group I've just dedicated three articles to! I think the article exaggerates its size. I have it as at around 4 m in length and just over 2 m in shoulder height, making it the size of a rhino, and a weight of about 2-3 tons. This is a very newly described species, so the info is still coming out. It's not known from a complete fossil but from some huge limb bones as well as bits of the skull. If there was more of it, I would have included it in the article. As it is, it's one of the latest as well as one of the largest (if not THE largest known) of the proto-mammals.
