Drepanosaurus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Drepanosaurus
''Drepanosaurus'' (Dre-pan-o-sore-us) is a genus of arboreal (tree-dwelling) reptile that lived during the Triassic Period. This strange animal wasn't recognized as a distinct group until 1992. ''Drepanosaurus'' is a genus of Drepanosauridae, a group of diapsid reptiles known for their prehensile tails. There are currently five known Drepanosaurs: ''Drepanosaurus'', ''Megalancosaurus'', ''Dolabrosaurus'', ''Hypuronector'', and ''Vallesaurus''. Only one adult ''Drepanosaurus'' specimen and two immature specimens have ever been found and all lacked a head and neck. ''Drepanosaurus'' was probably an insectivore, and lived in a coastal environment in what is now modern day Italy. ==Etymology== Its name means "sickle claw", which is thought to refer either to the enlarged claw on its forelimb, or the claw-like structure at the tip of its prehensile tail. Its name can sometimes be misinterpreted as "scythe lizard" or "monkey lizard".
