Tapinocephalus (SciiFii)

Tapinocephalus amphibious (name meaning "amphibious humble head") is a species of large herbivorous dinocephalian that originally lived during the Middle Permian Period in what is now South Africa as an extinct species, Tapinocephalus atherstonei, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in Paleozoic Park located in Downey, California. However, there are also feral populations of Tapinocephalus amphibious living in the modern wetlands and grasslands of South Africa, most likely a result of illegal pet trade, and these Tapinocephalus amphibious herds are known to live alongside rhinoceroses and other megafaunal mammals. These stocky, barrel-bodied animals are characterised by a massive bony skull roof and short weak snout, and like other members of its family, Tapinocephalus amphibious engage in head-butting intraspecific behavior, for territory and/or mates. Tapinocephalus amphibious is among the largest non-mammal synapsids on Earth, usually growing to be over 10 feet (3 meters) in length and weigh around 1.5 to 2 tonnes (3,300 to 4,400 lb). The primary food sources of Tapinocephalus amphibious includes shrubs, leaves, ferns, cycads, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and underwater vegetation. As its scientific name suggests, Tapinocephalus amphibious is an amphibious animal that relies on wallowing and/or swimming in the lakes/rivers to keep its skin moist and preventing its skin from drying up and cracking, similarly to hippopotamuses. Tapinocephalus amphibious is a social animal that lives in herds that can normally contain around 10-75 individuals at a time.
