Life reconstruction of the ancient mammal relative Thrinaxodon from the Triassic Period of Earth history. Similar in size and shape to a modern mink, Thrinaxodon is close to the inferred size of the ancestor of the group of ancient mammal relatives called cynodonts, and it shared that ancestor’s likely preference for animal food.
