Venomous therocephalian

Description

I post my work rarely and this time it is a drawing of a Late Permian venomous therocephalian Euchambersia. It had a big had with powerful jaws, venomous glands with ducts to the canines. The position of ear opening is based on careful study of recent literature. There is still a debate how this animals heard and many paleontologists think that reflecta lamina of the angular bone in their lower jaws was a part of their hearing system. I also think the same.

I reconstructed this animal with a guard hair and more mammal-like than they are usually depicted.

Later I will post also a colored version of this image.

Great work! This particular species of therocephalian has always fascinated me!
