These guys are better known then you might think: they simply don't get the

Great remarks overall, but since when do therapsids get any press? I mean,
Dimetrodon vs. Zopherosuchus, who have you heard more about lately? And when
did those lovable therapsids even appear in _Nature_ last? 1990 for goodness
sakes! Are we talking about the press in Russia perchance? (a magical land
where kids dress up as Moschops for Halloween...I'm sure of it :-)
