Deltavjatia was a procolophonid reptile from the Tatarian stage of the Permian time period. It had a large body of about 1.5 m (5 ft) in length.[2] Deltavjatia was an herbivore.[3] Deltavjatia lived in what is now Russia.[3] The first specimen of Deltavjatia was a specimen of a skull and lower mandobile (PIN 2212/1[3]), found in the Urpalov Formation in Kotelnich, Vyatka River.
