Galeops (SciiFii)

Galeops sanctuariensis is a species of non-mammal anomodont therapsid that originally lived from the Middle-Late Permian of South Africa as an extinct species, Galeops whaitsi‭, and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and now lives in Paleozoic Park located in Downey, California. Galeops sanctuariensis typically grows up to 12.75 to 18.25 centimeters (5.0 to 7.2 inches) long, not including a 15 to 22 centimeter (5.9 to 8.7 inch) tail, and weighs 120 to 180 grams (4.2 to 6.3 oz). Galeops sanctuariensis is unique in the fact that it completely lacks teeth and instead has evolved a horny, turtle-like beak similar to that of more derived dicynodonts, which are also members of chainosauria. However, it wasn't an ancestor to dicynodonts, since most dicynodonts still retain a pair of tusks and basal dicynodonts even have near complete sets of teeth. Like most anomodonts, Galeops sanctuariensis is a herbivore and it eats plants in the similar manner to turtles, shearing vegetation off of plants by biting and sliding its jaw backward. Galeops sanctuariensis is solitary and nocturnal, primarily arboreal but will occasionally spend some time on the ground. The gestation period of Galeops sanctuariensis lasts between 60 and 73 days. Galeops sanctuariensis lays between 1 and 9 eggs per clutch, and they hatch within 2-3 months. They may live as long as twelve years.
