Okay, but if I could just nerd out for a second, #synapsids and #therapsids are freaking cool and yet they don't get as much attention as the dinosaurs, and here's some introductory information on them: https://dinomuseum.ca/2020/02/a-brief-history-of-mammals-part-1-the-early-synapsids

Southern #Africa is one of the most important places in the world for understanding the #Permian, the period that ended with the largest #MassExtinction in #Earth's history. The valleys of the #Luangwa and #Zambezi in #Zambia 🇿🇲 are particularly rich in Permian fossils, including this #gorgonopsian on display at the #UniversityOfWashington's #BurkeMuseum. These impressive animals are #therapsids, close relatives of mammals and perhaps the first #sabertooths.
