== Description == thumb|left|Life restoration It was a medium-sized animal, comparable in size to a large dog. The body was robust, with a short tail and strong, muscular legs. The skull was short and low, featuring a broad muzzle, swollen zygomatic processes, and a relatively small size. The temporal fossae were deep, the sagittal crest prominent, and the coronoid process on the mandible was very high; these characteristics indicate a more developed temporal musculature (useful for chewing) than that of the subsequent pantodonts.
