Sorry, I was wrong. In new Mexico, along with sphenacodon lived small small species of Dimetrodon was not able to compete with him.

First, this was a length of about 1.7 m, but was larger, with a length of 2.5 meters. This is Sphenacodon ferocior. Besides, you forgot about the Dimetrodon.

Thank you! I'm not very good with watercolor paint, by the way. But pencils/pen better.
