Scutosaurus ("Shield Reptile") was a genus of armor-covered pariasaur that lived around 252-248 million years ago in Russia, in the later Permian period. Its genus name refers to large plates of armor scattered across its body. It was a large anapsid reptile that, unlike most reptiles, held its legs underneath its body to support its great weight.

  • Scutosaurus mesurait plus de 3 mètres de long et pesait une tonne, ses pattes robustes et ses ongles tronqués lui permettant de soutenir son poids. Il vécut il y a environ 260 millions d'années, durant le Permien supérieur, dernière période de l'ère primaire, sur la partie de l'ancien continent Laurasia qui est devenue la Sibérie. C'était le plus grand désert qui n'ait jamais existé sur Terre, la période Permien étant la période la plus sèche de l'ère primaire.
  • Scutosaurus was a massively built reptile, up to 3 metres (9.8 ft) in length, with bony armor, and a number of spikes decorating its skull. Despite its relatively small size, Scutosauruswas heavy, and its short legs meant that it could not move at speed for long periods of time, which made it vulnerable to attack by large predators. To defend itself Scutosaurushad a thick skeleton covered with powerful muscles, especially in the neck region. Underneath the skin were rows of hard, bony plates (scutes) that acted like a form of chain mail.
