[edit] Mammal or Reptile?
What are they closely related to? --68.97.69.115 00:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Closely related to mammals (mammals evolved from them, specifically). No mammal-like "reptiles" are actually true reptiles, but synapsids. Both synapsids and reptiles evolved from a common ancestor, not one from the other, though synapsids are often called (incorrectly) reptiles anyway.Dinoguy2 03:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for telling me! :) --207.69.139.155 02:11, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Mentioning the duckbill as one example of what Cynodonts might have been like when alive could give a perspective. Its egg laying and the closest living example of such one intermediate evolutionary stage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.255.127.184 (talk) 18:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
