The Metaposaur was a large temnospondyl (precursors to modern amphibians) that lived across Pangaea during the Triassic period. The Metaposaur lived most of its life in water as it possessed small, weak limbs and a large, flat head with needle-like teeth perfect for catching fish. Fossils of Metaposaurs are sometimes found in groups, leading paleontologists to believe that they were gathered in lakebeds and died from the lakes drying out during drought.
