''Leontocephalus'' is an extinct genus of gorgonopsian therapsid from the Permian of South Africa. It was first named by Broom in 1940, and contains four species, ''L. cadlei'', ''L. haughtoni'', ''L. intactus'', and ''L. rubidgei''. It was a powerful predator reaching 1.75 m in body length.〔http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bmorefossilhunter/message/1969〕 Due to the wear facets on the skull, ''Leontocephalus'' was capable of opening its jaws to a full 90 degrees, in order to separate its large canine teeth before biting into its prey. A 2007 study of gorgonopsians referred all ''Leontocephalus'' species to the genus ''Sycosaurus'', making ''Leontocephalus'' a junior synonym of ''Sycosaurus''. ==See also==
