Megazostrodon was a small, furry,[4] shrew-like animal between 10 to 12 centimetres (4 to 5 in) long which probably ate insects and small lizards. It is thought that it was nocturnal as it had a much larger brain[1] than its cynodont relatives and the enlarged areas of its brain were found to be those that process sounds and smells. This was probably in order to avoid being in competition with the reptiles or becoming prey to the dinosaurs.

  • thumb|388pxEl Megazostrodon tenía un cerebro bastante grande que le permitía procesar la información que recibía de sus desarrollados sentidos. Era un animal nocturno que percibía a sus presas gracias a unos extraordinarios sentidos del olfato y del oído. Además, el pelaje impedía que el Megazostrodon perdiera el calor corporal, que era vital por la noche. Se cree que las hembras ya tenían glándulas mamarias.
