Lotosaurus (SciiFii)

Lotosaurus luteus is a species of sail-backed poposauroid that originally lived from Hunan Province of central China during the Early Triassic, around 238 million years ago, as an extinct species, Lotosaurus adentus, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in Cretaceous Park located in Sacramento, California. Lotosaurus luteus is around 4.9 to 8.2 feet (1.5 2.5 meters) long and a heavily built quadruped. It is a herbivore, shearing off leaves with its toothless, beaked jaw. Lotosaurus luteus, like some other members of the Poposauroidea, has a sail on its back, granting it an appearance superficially similar to that of pelycosaurs like Dimetrodon and Edaphosaurus, although not as high. The sail of Lotosaurus luteus is used for species recognition and, during the breeding seasons, to intimidate rivals in order to win a right to mate with the females. Lotosaurus luteus is a social animal that normally lives in herds of up to around 18 at a time, although herds can be as high as 50.
