underbrush. It's stocky stature 
and large head make me believe 
that this is the rhynchosaur 
Hyperodapedon. Due to their small 
size, they are almost certainly 
commonly preyed upon by the 
larger carnivores of 
Ischigualasto. This would explain 
why it ran when it noticed me. I will 
have to keep my eyes out for more 
of these strange looking beasts.

Today I found a group of 
Hyperodapedon feeding on some of 
the low growing Scytophyllum. While 
these plants normally aren't 
accessible for the Hyperodapedon, 
they love it when they are able to 
get it. More research will be 

needed in the future.

While resting in my camp today, I 
was awoken by a low rumbling 
coming from nearby. Extremely 
cautiously, I investigated, and 
discovered a herd of 
Ischigualastia! These large 
dicynodonts were recognizable 
immediately. These large grazers 
have little to fear, seemingly only 
being preyed upon by 
Saurosuchus. Not only does their 
size protect them, but the fact 
they travel in large herds helps 
discourage carnivores from 
hunting them. As such, they are 
quite docile. I will travel with this
