Description
A massive Mastodonsaurus fails to catch an unaware Gerrothorax, throwing it to the air scaring a couple of Pappochelys on the process. 240 million years ago, in what today is central Europe.
Mastodonsaurus giganteus was a massive temnospondyl, one of the largest amphibian relatives on earth, reaching 6 meters in length. It had two massive fangs on the front of its lower jaw, so large that there are holes on its upper jaw so the fangs could fit when the mouth was close. They had very small limbs, which suggest they were mostly, if not completely aquatic.

Pappochelys rosinae were reptiles closely related to turtles, about 20 centimeters in length. It did not have a shell, but instead it had expanded ribs.

Gerrothorax pulcherrimus was another temnospondyl, a very flat amphibian relative, about a meter in length. It lived on the bottom of bodies of water waiting for a prey to come nearby, quickly opening their upper jaw and creating a vacuum effect that would suck the prey. They had internal gills thought their entire lives, meaning they were completely aquatic.
