Cotylorhynchus, a genus of late Permian synapsids. It's herbivorous and it's huge gut was possibly necessary to digest the nutrient-poor plant life it fed on.

Looks like a turtle without its shell. Are the scientists sure it didnt have a shell made of cartilage thats been lost to time?
I don't know where this particular fella fits in the history, but turtles evolved from similar quadruped reptiles. Basically, their ribs evolved flat and wide so that their chests could support them better while burrowing tunnels. That turned into the turtle plastron.
Huh the more u know
we probably just have the bones of the weirdest-looking critter in the species
uncanny resemblance
It looks like it was made in Spore
I feel like this is one of those models we're completely wrong about.

Turtle shells are already on the inside. The entire surface of their shells is skin!

It's like a turtle without the turtle part
You know what, I feel like the shell part of the turtle is best represented by the "turt" part of the world turtle. It just looks the way "turt" sounds.
So a turtle without it's shell I think should start to be called a "le" (pronounced like in the world turtle), which represents very well, as a sound, a "turt"-less turtle
Looks like Elon musk as
a reptilemore of a reptile.Is he voiced by danny devito?
I can picture it now. An Ice Age movie where Sid, Manny, and Diego are hanging around a bar and this chonky boy shows up out of nowhere and makes an outrageous claim. Queue "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" music.
It's shaped like a cheeseburger. I'll call it Americanis.

Yes it is.
I don't understand how they used it correctly and then didn't
