Limnoscelis was a genus of large diadectomorph tetrapods from the Late Carboniferous to early Permian of western North America. It includes 2 species: the type species Limnoscelis paludis from New Mexico, and Limnoscelis dynatis from Colorado, both of which are thought to have lived concurrently. No specimens of Limnoscelis are known from outside of North America. Limnoscelis was carnivorous, and likely semiaquatic, though it may have spent a significant portion of its life on land. Limnoscelis had a combination of derived amphibian and primitive reptilian features, and its placement relative to Amniota has significant implications regarding the origins of the 1st amniotes.
It grew to about 1.5 meters (5 feet) in length.

Jurassic World: The Game
Limnoscelis is usually the first amphibian (although it was a reptiliomorph tetrapod in real life) that can be created in Jurassic World: The Game. It is a common non-hybrid amphibian that costs 130 DNA in the market and takes a few minutes in the hatchery. Limnoscelis is portrayed quite similar to its real life counterpart, the only difference being its crocodile like behavior. Since the March 16th, 2016 update, Level 40 Limnoscelis can be fused with a Level 40 Coloborhynchus to create the Limnorhynchus.
