A gorgonopsid is a classification of creatures that are descended from the same ancestors as mammals. These active predators are built muscularly with large canine teeth and a decent size, rivaling large bears. These predators lunge upon their prey from hiding spots, grapple them with their forelimbs, and rip into their vulnerable areas with their massive fangs. |
