From small generalized species to heavily built herbivores and highly specialized lineages, they reveal an entire side of vertebrate history that is often overlooked. In this video, I go through all known parareptile species and place them in phylogenetic order, following their evolutionary relationships as closely as possible. Rather than presenting them as an isolated list, this documentary follows the structure of their family tree, showing how each lineage emerged, diversified, and disappeared through time. This is a complete journey through one of the most unusual chapters in prehistoric life: a full overview of parareptile diversity, anatomy, evolution, and extinction.
