phylum Chordata Bradysaurus was a large, early and common pareiasaur, of the South African Karoo. Along with the similarly large dinocephalia, the bradysaurs constituted the herbivorous megafauna of the late Middle Permian Period. In life they were probably slow, clumsy and inoffensive animals, that had evolved a covering of armoured scutes to protect them against their predators, the gorgonopsians. Bradysaurus was 2.5 meters in length and half a tonne to a tonne in weight.
