Haramiyavia

Haramiyavia is a genus of synapsid in the Haramiyida clade that existed about 200 million years ago in the Norian/Rhaetian period of the Triassic.[1] Like other haramiyidans, it was likely a non-mammalian mammaliaform.[2][3] It contains a single species, H. clemmenseni,[1] and has been assigned to a monogeneric family, the Haramiyaviidae.[4]

Biology

A study involving Mesozoic mammal dietary habits ranks it among insectivorous taxa.[5]

gollark: It is possible to make GIFs with better colours via methods.
gollark: - things are, on average, generally improving- any economic system which operates at scale, i.e. any able to maintain our modern standard of living, has to wrestle with this complexity too- none of this implies that supply and demand "is made up"
gollark: I don't think this is actually true though. Prices of technology in terms of hours of work have gone down a lot, and the power of it has gone up.
gollark: Presumably because making complex and bureaucracy-driven institutions actually work sanely is an unsolved problem.
gollark: Lack of coherent response interpreted as communism.
