Before the Dinosaurs: Gorgonopsids

During the Late Permian period, much of Pangaea was dominated by harsh environments and arid climates. Among the animals best-adapted to these conditions were the Gorgonopsids; sabre-toothed predators resembling a cross between a Smilodon and a Komodo Dragon. This video will dive into the paleobiology of these animals, as well as the conditions that led to their downfall. This is a reupload of a video from my old channel "Pangaea Productions." This video is part 3 of a 4-part series.
