Triassic Reptiles and Mammal-like Reptiles coloring page

This is one of the Reptile drawings I posted previously.  

I am now posting each drawing individually. 

This is my free coloring pages blog... with around 3000 coloring pages that I have drawn.

I am a retired science teacher and a paleontology and biology fanatic...

 so I will tell you about the animals in each drawing.

Diichtodon killed by Postosuchus

Diictodon was one of the mammal-like reptiles.  It lived in burrows and was about half a meter in length.  Postosuchus was the T. rex of the Triassic Late Triassic Period.  Here we see it feeding on a Diichtodon.  The animal in the background is a large tusked herbivore called Placerias.   An adult Postasuchus would have been around 13 feet or 4 meters long.  So this would have to be a juvenile Postaoschus since Diictodon was only about 19 or 20 inches long.  Surprisingly, none of THESE animals are dinosaurs either.  Although it looks much like a dinosaur, Postosuchus was more closely related to crocodilians, not dinosaurs.  The Theropod dinos did NOT evolve from Postosuchus. 

The printable version of this drawing is found by clicking on the Paleontology button and then scrolling down to the bottom of the Mesozoic section of the Paleontology list.  Then click on the title and print the drawing to color it.  Have fun coloring.
