Lystrosaurus is a genus of dicynodont therapsid that originated in the Late Permian to the Early Triassic. It was believed to live in what is now known as Antarctica, India, China, Mongolia, European Russia, and South Africa, meaning that it was one of the few animals which served as evidence for the theory of continental drift and that all of Earth’s continents at the time it lived was one giant supercontinent landmass called Pangaea.
Currently four species of Lystrosaurus are recognized, with the type species being L. murrayi, and it was an example of a Permian genus surviving the Permian-Triassic Extinction and thriving during the Early Triassic.
