Captorhinus was an early reptile recognized for its multiple rows of teeth, an adaptation that allowed it to process tough vegetation. It inhabited dry environments long before the age of dinosaurs. Fossils such as this provide important evidence for understanding the early evolution of reptiles and the development of life on land.
