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.
