Gorgonopsid as it appeared in Primeval.

Gorgonops (Inostrancevia) was a Gorgonopsid of the Late Permian, living in Siberia, 250 MYA. It possessed the world first true sabre teeth, which it used to deadly effect on its prey, which included anything up to the size of giant Labyrinthodont Amphibians and Scutosaur Pareiasaurs (such as the old male Scutosaurus the female Gorgonopsid is shown to kill) It was the size of a tiger (lower size estimate) or a rhino (upper size estimate), up to 3.2-4.3 metres long, almost tonne in weight and tall enough to look you in the eye (if it was the upper size estimate 4.3 metres, not the lower size estimate 3.2 metres). It was a deadly carnivore.

Trivia

  • This is the first creature to appear in Primeval (the second one would be Rex and the third one would be the Scutosaurus).
  • Since they're in Siberia they may actually be Inostrancevia.
